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.
