The Middle Land


If I bled a little bit more than I do nowadays, would that show you my humanity---
Being human does not mean you have humanity,
that is what you said and said
over and over

And only now have I rendered my supposition on the matter,
maybe I was a better person than you gave me credit for,
and maybe I did not need your credit,
because all my accolades and wounds had been self inflicted all along,
such is the upside and downside of cognizance,

I was not a bad person,
and even though I was better,
maybe I was not good either,

perhaps somewhere in between,

if you call it limbo,
will they call it purgatory---

if you turn your head in both directions,
will they ask you to hold still---

Limbo was not a bad place to be,
as long as your friends set the bar,
and you knew something about equilibrium
