Our literary stop signs

are periods

we use them

to end a single thought

a comma will not do it

a pause is simply not enough

like rolling through a stop sign

it does no good to simply

tap the brake

do not yield to commas

we need the boldness of a period

like a bright red stop sign

to come to a complete stop

turn on the signal

then proceed to the next thought

turn the corner

watch your speed

slow down
