A Comma For An Ending, Poem by RIC BASTASA

i know and i know that you have noticed
that i have developed a style of my own
the way i look at things and take them with me
the way i describe a moment and makes this moment last
no, it has nothing with imagery anymore
or metaphors, these have become passe and cliched by
too much use, and they
those great ones like you in your pedestal and crown and
scepter finally get bored with all these repetitions

i am talking and i keep talking and i write with all these
fingers my eyes focused on each letter transformed into words
into this long sentence without any marking sign at all
except for a few commas until i finally have to use an end
to all these monotonous lines searching for a happy ending
perhaps not in a period but in another comma,
