Don't Punctuate Me.*
.
The roads are clumsy
The heads are crazy
If it be a festive season
Let me be an addictive reason
.
For those who see you,
Let my shadow bind them farewell.
For those who talk to you,
Let my words cement the puzzle.
.
I want you to take me as a whole,
If i be that food,
Eat me, flesh in bones in.
If i be that novella,
Don't punctuate me.
Eat the words raw with no pitch of salt, no punctuation.
.
But for those who dicern me
Those who duplicate my manifesto
Those whose words and actions bite more
Those whose words like icing sugar excite your ears,
And their smiles weaken your heart,
Don't mind their extinction,
Punctuate them all,
Just put them in a comma with double fullstops.
Not even an exclamation or hypen will save their fate.
