Misdirected Anger

 

A semi-colon I can understand. Maybe even a double hyphen in place of a dash. But to be this aggressive in your rejection of a period? I recommend therapy and decaf.

The Experts

The experts and schemers 

lounged in the hollows

sucking on words

like babies on mother,

then staged  revelations: 

pronouncements, elixirs;

with voice of authority,

quoting each other.
