That's a great poem, Dave.
Incidentally, there's a popular misconception that E.E. Cummings preferred to have his name written in lowercase. While it is true that he did sometimes sign his name in all lowercase letters, evidence (in the form of letters to his publisher) suggests that he preferred the standard spelling for his byline. It was a posthumous decision by one of his publishers to render his name in all lowercase letters, and that, regrettably, has stuck.
Or to put it another way, in English, we capitalize names as a form of honorific. Capitalization lends an air of importance, and distinguishes noteworthy beings, places and things from their commonplace counterparts. As one English teacher put it to me, "To write one's own name in lowercase letters is an act of humility. To write someone else's name in lowercase letters is an act of disrespect."
Just food for thought. :)
