#OctPoWriMo - Treading Water in The Middle

i have spent most of my life

dwelling in the safety of the and space

not willing to choose this or that

or theta or omega

instead thisthat and

thetaomega

ruled the day

i refused to move

closer to either side

the personification of

n  in the middle of the

a and the D

no either, or for me

“unenlightened” I said

sneering down my

anything but aquiline nose

aND when I tilt my head

i see the “N” is the treading water

“n” is the tepid

“n” is the tip of the eraser

the rubber shards left

when the not quite word

shows itself to the page

that middle ground

you created good ground to foster contemplation here.
