We love punctuation we love it on our
Faces between our eyes the commas
On pages Slashes & virgules by the noses
The deeper ones called smile lines
The history of punctuation on our faces
The not smooth now colonized landforms
Try ageless skin revolution dot com
An internet pop-up says between news
Botox could fix your punctuation
& we don’t want service worker bacteria
Injected in our skin some of our sisters
Said naming wrinkles after the drier years
The history of punctuation in the west
Men were reading silently Women didn’t
Read of course They were accompanied
• • ••
By the lyre & strings Construction
Workers do not whistle anymore
Because of punctuation on my faces
When i think of the invention of signs
………
When we think interpunct the small plump
Dot made reading easier We welcome
Extra punctuation over time Women

Sat up high in the arena No signs
For when the gladiators killed
& on the wrinkled earth the animal

The interpunct kept pace & thus the scribes
Began their sense of inner pacing
At what level did experience begin
Thus began the sense of inner facing At
What degree do Botox creatures stretch

Fall They invented the diple & the period

At the Grand Canyon we saw wrinkles
Up & down from the Precambrian
What’s so bad about granite wrinkles
What’s so bad about punctuated women
The parenthesis was added later
Grief Botox may cause side effects
We won’t accept a corporate account
Of our skin We do accept the long Pre-

Aurelius noted he had inserted marks
))(()) (())
Others appear in the 4th century
Not hopeless only adding pauses
Metamorphic commas on the faces
,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,
Marks had been inserted to show forces
The diple with one dot of traces

The asterisk appeared medievally

The punctus exclimativus & by then
Human surprise had been invented
Experience on our faces & once when

We were hiking down into the Precambrian

When he left her punctuation deepened
Only some languages develop commas
Some faces Some agreements have &

Of sense He started leaving her when
She grew Precambrian around the eyes
He was very going to leave her then he did

Another started naming wrinkles after times
She named them Valley of the M Heart-

Of her beauty starts No stretching skin
Smile lines built like the Precambrian
She began to think of reading on her face
Read wrinkles like experimental poetry

Wrinkled earth over a billion years
His new wife had no lines at all
No timing had developed on the skin

Had a good run of it with all that
Happened to your skin & women
Looked down to the ground we love

Older ground becomes so rich & rare
After Botox she couldn’t whistle well

The corporation needs our shameful self

In her divorce the wrinkles deepened

To it the commas of pure pleasure
After great pain the Precambrian
Some sense in the experiment grew
The pattern of pure pleasure grew
The measure of text is not pre-death
They call it facework now an understretch

Lovely friend afraid of smiling now
Did Sappho know about the interpunct
My wrinkles are beside the earthly years

Traces in surviving manuscripts where
Monks inserted one of the centuries
The actress had a good run of it he wrote
They called her wrinkles tiny flaws
Emerging tiny flaws above the sweat
Glands & the sensory receptors In our
Grand Canyon the comma is the door
What is your favorite form of punctuation?
My favorite form is the almost pause
To have some extra time around the dream
Not dream of youth (Poor Botox creatures
Chained into our friend) O semi-colon
Why hatred of old women not of earth?
Why no hatred of old canyons Why no hatred
Of the Valley Why hatred of the women
Doing nails & women eating, teaching
Nursing babies walking talking bent
Like commas Why do the aging women
Apologize until they barely even talk ? Asked
The semicolon & it said don’t be ashamed
Of your skin i asked comma it said
Don’t be ashamed of your eyes i asked
The virgule the parenthesis the dash
The tilde the umlaut the macron They
Said don’t be ashamed shame shame
i asked the ellipsis & the period
The exclamation & the question mark
To read the human woman’s face &
The signs said take your time The pauses
Bent & heard, as did the quartzes &
Cracked feldspar faces of the canyons
There are the marks & runnels &
Rivulets, scratches & of exiles
Skin, sex, age, capacities. Oh quartz,
Ah granitc, basalt, lava, faces
Stay with you. They remember
You. They made signs with laughter.
Old women we remembered you.
Remembered the wrinkles under
Cities. The faces ours, full of pain
… dots & lines, & whines;;; faces
loved in suffering & gladness over
all the earth –!!??~~’’/ /..;;,,]]{ {
