punctuated why

i.

there must be more than this.

it's not brilliant, not even close,
not even close to the domino thought
he'd like to think is teetering
inside my mind
somewhere

and is not.

it is not about to fall, it is not a domino
at all,

just a slight feeling of
sleepiness.

this is description more than emotion,
no color, only phrase, no depth, only
wit,

or the lack of it.

and punctuated, why?



ii.

she is not impressed,
sitting there, wearing
a great scarf, aquamarine,
beautiful, reading then
looking up, eyes bending,
a slight smile, a laugh -

i wish.
