Between
Stalled between flights,
Situated in a relativistically neutral confinement
Characterized by benign timelessness,
Waiting, aimlessly, to resume my peregrination,
I meditate on the nature of intermediate places
And realize that this pause is a disguised boon,
Reminding me of the benefits that accrue
When we give routine the truncated shrift
And conveniently forget all we've left behind,
In those zones between betweens we all call home.
