Alabama Punctuation

I'm seeing your hips
curving, so parenthetical
in that red dress
and thinking,

Man, so smooth
a run-on sentence
not stopping
not stopping
not stopping

Your slender hand cupped
around my
neck leaving
my mind a
halted train,
a hyphen

But let's toss some exclamation points
into this evening
You'll kiss me
like it's
November and
we might dance,
though we
don't know how -

Until
the morning
when maybe
an
elipses
would be
all right
