all weight
and meaning
is not to be found
in the substance itself
there are spaces
between words;
pauses and pregnancies
or an absence altogether
that contains more
than semantics ever could
the trouble is finding
a balance that punctuates
the message appropriately;
otherwise you just
seem lost
or
disinterested
