In Just – Spring

Uncle Jerry cites e.e. cummings' 'In Just – Spring' as an example of ambiguity in poetry, discussing how the word 'just' at the end of the first line carries multiple meanings (just as in correct, just as in barely). He draws a parallel to the ambiguity in All Too Well, specifically the moment where Jake Gyllenhaal's cheeks are turning red, is he embarrassed about being open, or embarrassed about the baby photos? Uncle Jerry argues this kind of ambiguity is one of the best qualities of modern poetry.
