When by Robert Zend

Death doesn't
end life
death just
interrupts it
a book mark between page 256 and 257
a dental appointment at Friday at two
guests tonight
a movie tomorrow evening
a discussion that didn't end
coffee percolating on the stove
six shirts at the laundry
a holiday in Mexico this winter
this is what things are like
when a period is placed
in the middle of a sentence.
