I especially like the use of the word "boy" in the final line. By using "boy" rather than male, man, or any other possible variant, Cummings is able to express the insignificance of our worldly accomplishments in light of impending death. While one may believe that Buffalo Bill was a "handsome man," or accomplished and admirable, to Death, Buffalo Bill is nothing more than a "blue-eyed boy"; simply another dead person.
