Stumbling

“It’s the temptation, the suggestion, the promise of passion to come, held suspended in the balance. Seduction is all this and more”
I scroll down my phone, reading the message sent out by a posh sex store downtown to all customers willing to listen.
I read it aloud to myself, my tongue lingering on every word, but on seduction most of all.
Seduction. It sounds taboo. Like something I shouldn’t be doing; but here I am, sliding across my keyboard, my words dressed up in lingerie, trying my hand at it with you.
It’s almost a dance of the written art. My graceful, errorless flow of words mingling with your stumbling mess of typos.
In a world where almost everything is said via text, words are all that really matter.

An important statement.
But what about punctuation? I've always thought punctuation is desperately significant in on-line text. It inserts/embeds/insinuates the body, through pauses, fragments, etc. You seem to notice this in your imagery, which seems to reference pauses and vocal gesture (stumbling, graceful, lingering, sliding)
Going somewhere interesting I think. I'm doing quite a big project in this area this autumn, so this kind of thing is playing on my mind.
