But Mr Can You Maybe Listen There's
But Mr Can You Maybe Listen There's - meaning Summary
Unequal Futures, Intimate Voice
Cummings uses a conversational, fragmented voice to contrast people with bright, secure futures and the speaker’s modest, uncertain fate. The poem shifts between playful images (pockets of candy, flying futures) and a quieter, embarrassed self-awareness that asks to be heard yet seems overlooked. Its rhythm and spacing emphasize social distance and personal vulnerability, ending on a small, tangible detail that grounds the speaker’s marginal position.
