life on the hyphen

please mind the gap
they yelled at the equilibrist
as he balanced in between eternities high up way above the solid ground
they found it exciting
but how can something be defined by its failure
to be neither one nor the other
everybody was clapping by now
bye now he waived
maybe there is continuum of being and meaning on the brink of something new
                         
            a link

                       bridge-like

                                    past to present

oh, did you see that?
I can’t believe you missed it.
