•  e.e. cummings 'i like my body when it is with your' and Boris Vellejo 'Mermaid'

  					i like my body when it is with your body. It is so quite new a thing. Muscles better and nerves more. I like your body. I like what it does, I like it's hows. I like to feel the spine of your body and it's bones, and the trembling-firm-smoothness and which I will again and again and again kiss, I like kissing this and that of you. I like slowly stroking the shocking fuzz of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes over parting flesh...and eyes big love-crumbs, and possibly I like the thrill of under me you so quite new.
  Cummings wrote this poem for Elaine Thayer (Richard F. Kennedy, in Dreams in the Mirror: A Biography of E. E. Cummings [New York: Liveright, 1980]: 194-95). E. E. Cummings (1894-1962)
