How is it - that I keep finding myself in the midst
Of such grammatically incorrect situations?
Instances that are so often fragmented with incomplete thoughts
OBliterated with the wrong prepositions
ADlibbed in the wrong verb tense
With absolutely NO subject verb agreement
To support the validity of MY direct object?
And how did all of these damn comma splices get in here?
The wrong man in my life?
A comma splice..
The wrong friend in my life?
A comma splice…
The wrong situation at the wrong time in my life?
A damn comma splice…
Where is my period?!
Who was given the authority to place an “S” at the end of MY situation?
Why is it that my situationssssssssssss continue to evolve into instances
That just keep going - and going - and going
Until my subject is lost
My thought is no longer complete
My verb no longer has any action
And my direct object has been compromised into an INdirect object?
Ridiculed by adjectives and adverbs
Complicating my simplicity with conjunction
After conjunction – after conjunction
I never asked to be compositioned or rewritten
I just want to be understood
There is no need to define me
Or analyze me
By misappropriating my representation
With synonymous terminologies
Why do you insist on trying to read in between the lines
When you can’t seem to comprehend what’s written ON the line
Dammit - I AM THE LINE
Where is my period?!
If you cannot articulate
Then you and I will NEVER be able to communicate
And if you continue to improperly punctuate
Then you and I will NEVER be able to conjugate
The true essence of our characters will never unfold
Why?
Because the power of composing
Resides within the significance of The Period
And without The Period…
How can the possibility of new beginnings
Ever exist without an end?
