a complete sentence
ended by a full stop
you might think it would be over then
said my piece
but a comma forced in
a list of promises I can't remember
I thought my sentence finished
my mouth is filled with punctuation
I only wanted that full stop
but shame leads me to delimiters
and the list seems not to end
I thought I understood the grammar
but everything becomes too loud
my one word drowned
in a stinging word cloud
I am frozen by the not stopping
stunned still by the movement
afraid that if I see the full stop
I'll know the word for this
