You, with it in your hand. Looking over my work. Ready to score.

Me, saying dirty things. Hoping it fits the criteria.

        You, in a cozy chair. Or would you rather do this on your desk?

Me, presently tense. Conveying the action, as it happens.

You study my form as I liberate myself of its bindings.
Playfully now, with zero articles, I change pace.

I taunt and I tease and I’m aware of the rules but I ignore them cause I know it drives you crazy and I condemn you with an incoherently rambling run-on sentence until when you just can’t take any more I initiate the absolving moment of
Punctuation. I insert it. poorly at; first, ?
You correct me.

With random intervals italicized (doesn’t matter. It’s my style.that’s important.and it seems to fit.)-- I continue the narrative thrust.
Passive voice is boring. I-I-I mean it bores me. I like it active. I want it verbalized loudly with primer language. I do it. I show you. You understand.
I know a varied assortment of prepositions helps keep things exciting for you. I capitalize ON IT: beside; beneath; between; around; with and without; toward; against; over and under; and more than a fair share of in and out of
course

We, together. . . Because without either the act is meaningless. We each know our role and submit to it. We know, when done poorly or without consideration, it‘s a waste of energy. But when it’s right, it’s art. The propelling drive of mankind.

We, together. . . Faster now andd mor recklas. Aware that the end is approaching and anxious to see what will happen. Pulling toward cohesion. Nearing completion.
