If I could express it in a different dialect or in a delicate way

Last day of soccer practice for the summer. There's no bittersweet feeling of leaving behind a new experience. Probably because it isn't.

the glass sat awkwardly on the table
an unwelcome sight in this pristine house
it stood out like a crazy colored hairstyle
in an otherwise bland mixture of brunettes and blonds
and yet no one made any move to change that
it reflected the faces of the silent quartet
reflecting and distorting
some elongated others widened
however all the faces had eyes that stared
straight at the glass
at all of the shattered pieces
that it had left behind.



I think I'm going to go all e e cummings with my poetry. No caps, no punctuation. This way you can add the breaks and pauses where you think they fit best. Yes, this way everyone can view my poetry in a different way than the next. Giving an extra pause, or one less than that of the last person to read it.
