There Are So Many Tictoc
There Are So Many Tictoc - meaning Summary
Timing Vs Spontaneous Spring
Cummings contrasts mechanical clocks and the lived season of spring to argue that time’s measurements cannot govern natural life or intimate moments. The poem rejects regulated, wound-up time, portraying spring as self-moving and unmechanized. In the concluding playful stanza, human affection — kissing — is presented as beyond clocked differences; love and seasonal renewal operate independently of precise, imposed timing. The tone mixes whimsy with gentle critique of punctuality.
