If I’m an apostrophe
What apostrophe should I be?
A possessive apostrophe?
Wanting what-comes-next to belong to me?
Or an omissive stroke?
That turns what-might-have-been-put-there to smoke?
Whatever I’m supposed to do
I can’t seem to walk the line with an upwards view
I only make sense when I’m stuck-up, floating around
Words don, t make good sense when I, m stuck on the ground
On the floor I’m just a comma, that adds a pause,
And I’d rather not be put between an opinion, and someone’s clause
Whatever apostrophe I should be, I just keep things moving
Who cares if the letters that look at me seem disapproving.
