April 23, 2021: Pity This Busy Monster,Manunkind by E. E. Cummings, in The Mentor Book of Major American Poets, pg. 461

Pity This Busy Monster,Manunkind,

pity this busy monster,manunkind,

not.  Progress is a comfortable disease:
your victim(death and life safely beyond)

plays with the bigness of his littleness
--electrons deify one razorblade
into a mountainrange:lenses extend

unwish through curving wherewhen till unwish
returns on its unself,
                                    A world of made
is not a world of born--pity poor flesh

and trees,poor stars and stones,but never this
fine spwecimen of hypermagical

ultraomnipotence.  We doctors know

a hopeless case if--listen:there's a hell
of a good universe next door;let's go
