in honor of punctuation

today or tomorrow by some accounts is national punctuation day honoring the role that punctuation plays in our lives as an author and poet i respect punctuation without all those periods semicolons commas and quotation marks where would i be right out here with eecummings and the rest of his ilk i suppose to say nothing of the major use of parentheses and colons not the interior plumbing kind but the kind that lets you know who owns what and makes room for contractions which i cannot use here because i am not using punctuation in case you have not figured it out by now and thought i was pretending to be james joyce or someone like that who writes long sentences and yawn this is exhausting but it is somewhat easier because i do not need to use the shift key or even the space bar much which raises an interesting question which is is the space between words punctuation i will leave that question to my academic family and friends go ahead and post your answer but do not copy my melodious and mellifulous flowing style thank you for your help and concern your pal gussie who is till nekkid
