jibber

can't decide if it flows enough between the verses, the ideas connect in my head, but I just want to know if it works for other people too. and as always, point out anything that comes to mind that could be improved on.

lost in transition,
so is this a temporary
settling for second-best or
a step on to another path.
Does this interlude announce
A new picture or simply
A cheap reflection of
What used to be.

This no-mans-land has
Its own advantages,
Non-committal and lucid,
Perfect for a mind
Saturated with too many
Variables and intricacies

But trapped between two
Definite and opposite realities
Presents still more ways
To be tripped and tangled,
Paralyzed with indecision.

So now I find these muscles,
Soft and limp from atrophy can’t
Take a stance on one path or another.
What harm can more waiting do anyway.
