Somewhere in Between

Somewhere between the ant and Jupiter...

between Boston and Sagittarius...

between the wealthy and the poor...

at times between the skyscraper and the flea...

between oxygenated air and the vacuum

of intergalactic space...in between the ether

of here and there…

between the firefly and darkness of night...

somewhere between Odysseus and home...

between the Big Bang and the end of time...

Between the left hand and the right...

between BCE and AD…

between the Beauty and the Beast…

somewhere between Kansas and Oz...

in the dreamworld between darkness and light...

somewhere between the leading of each line of type...

between the legacy of your history and mine

lie answers to interrogatories, When? Where?

and Why?

After ten years and travails between Troy and

Ithaca, Odysseus eventually found his way

back to Penelope

as Dorothy awoke to safety in her

bed at home, leaving the ruby slippers behind.
