Since Feeling is First- EE Cummings?

Question

I need it to be a line by line analysis. I added mine.
I need to analyze and annotate this poem: 

since feeling is first                     <--- Feelings are more important than intellect
who pays any attention                /_____________     Criticizing other poems who misspell things to show life's imperfections
to the syntax of things                 &#92;
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a far better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
--the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph                        <------ Life is not structure like a paragraph 

And death i think is no parenthesis

This explains it pretty good:

When you are in love you don't worry about every thing being in order, you go by how you feel (a wonderful feeling) and just let it soak into your being each and every day.  Just to be with the one you love and feel their kisses is better than all the "brain" stuff in the world put together.

i'm kinda like you, but it's mostly more that i can't sympathize or empathize with others because i just don't know how. i don't think i can possibly feel love, so you're not alone here. i'm also kinda hated so i kinda feign a lot of emotions so i can seem really nice and caring. hell it works for me, lol.
