When we discussed the poem in class I got the sense that Cody was a complete fraud...but according to the article he actually did play the part of a western cowboy in real life. This makes me think that cummings wasn't commenting as much on how he was a fake, but more how he was a sellout in going from a real cowboy to an entertainer who glorified his old life.
