The Syntax of Being Alive

To anyone who doesn’t understand punctuations,
let me help you real quick.
A child runs into the parentheses of his mother’s arms
after the first day of school.
A man suffering from stage fear
delivers a speech with fumbling commas.
When you stare at your ceiling at 3 a.m,
you are trying to overcome the ellipses of your life.
Your state is similar to an exclamation mark
when you find your 5 year long boyfriend cheating.
You can use apostrophes in life to claim something quicker
but it’ll always end with a period.
