My theory of punctuated equilibrium during hyphenation.

The hyphenation

between yesterday

and tomorrow

is today,

the future at present

has no full stop,

neither did the beginning 

which brings us to today.

Thanks to comma,

I paused to reflect

before I am accelerated

once again 

to my epitaph,

a life sentence.

All the while I was followed

by my exclamation 

and I didn't have time

to leave a trail

of question marks.

i appreciate this as you can imagine....the grammar nerd in me.
and the metaphor is great.
i think our lives are mostly filled with commas...just pauses.
we seem in life to never find definitive answers...so no periods...
some ellipses...
but not the full stops.
only visits, hesitations and then moving on toward more question marks.

A very clever use of punctuation. . . but have you never experienced an ellipsis?
