In grade school someone was trying
to teach me grammar
but during break
I attempted to break down
a run on sentence of basketball
Capitalization pass
dribble and glide into his hand
to pause just a second
comma,
then slam it back down
period.
But while attempting to bracket
(the boy with the ball)
he shoved an exclamat!on mark in my eye.
I couldn't write poetry then
because I didn't know what a similie was
so my eye bled instead
right through the last half of english.
Now i still can't use a
semi-colon;
properly.
