I Refuse

Amita flouts rules of grammar perhaps in the name of poetic justice. An exclusive for Different Truths.

I skip the comma,
Hop out of brackets,
Refuse to full stop
In this pandemic Period
That has no semicolon no hyphenation no colon but just
An exclamation
And a question
The prior of disdain
The latter of
Life’s end
I rebel n
use n for and
 i dont use apostrophe i refuse to capitalise and rage i exhibit when i use ALLCAPS
 i m locked in
 but i escape as i write punctuations-free
 yes, i do not flout lockdown rules
 but i refuse all punctuation use
Only one i use now
 its my fav wch is ellipsis
3 dots at end
 as my thoughts spill
Its called ellipsis
Our future too is ellipsis now between que sera sera and three dots it fits
My present s-p-a-c-e of rebel then
IS scripting poems
Sans punctuates
My Rebel within
Satiates
Irritates readers perhaps for writing miShapS
But then y they claim 2 be accommodating and tolerant if my poem harmless they disapprove of
But i m me
I am free
Or may i say i seek
A new world order,
 a world without conflicts at each border
Inclusion gapless borderless means now we place wordstogetherandwritenonstopnospaceandcometogethertoloveandnurture...
