A Poem about Being Inbetween

In the process of moving, it feels like we are definitely inbetween. I remembered once reading a poem about being "neither here nor there" and found this one on the web. For those of who wonder how I find the time to blog during the moving process, just think of is as my five minutes of sanity amidst the chaos and it gives me something to focus on besides cleaning, packing, unpacking, etc.


NEITHER HERE NOR THERE
by Martin Maloney
If you are neither here nor there
you must be nowhere.
You can't be somewhere, since
somewhere is part of everywhere
which is both there and here;
and as you are neither there nor here
you cannot be somewhere.
But neither can you be nowhere
since you must always be somewhere
and somewhere between here and there.
But if you are neither here nor there
but somewhere, then somewhere must be
nowhere
between here and there;
Thus, somewhere must be everywhere
between here and there; and nowhere
Is between here and there, so
somewhere is everywhere and nowhere
But that's neither here nor there
