08. Limbo

In the blink of an eye I know where I stand.

I'm reminded by a pull that takes my hand

Plunging me deep into these neutral waters

No parents would wish on their sons or daughters.

Like a rubber band I'm ready to snap,

Thoroughly entrenched in this narrow trap

Where plusses and minuses cancel out

Creating much unrest to come about;

A loathsome limbo to accent my days

As I try to make sense of my wild ways.
