'hello Chris' - Dash Or No Dash

Anxious looks and sweaty palms
I am sure there is no need for qualms

This man might be a mystery 
Surely there is no need to feel so jittery

Eventually he showed up
I was staring at him over my coffee cup

Nowhere near to what I imagined
My mom always said it’s wrong to sit and examine

So tell me Chris, should I remove those dashes?
Or will my poem end up in ashes?
