Things That Make Ya Go Hmm
Sometimes it seems there’s no
in-between
like the volume on the tv
My hearing likes to play tricks
or a love-hate relationship with food
Enjoyment and resentment coincide
in a crinkly bag of M&Ms
or the fact that my children
grow up before my eyes
Happy to see their wins
Sad about selfish loss
How can there be no
in-between
when that’s the very place
life chases dreams
Laugh at the tricks
the candy
the kids
According to Mamaw
it’ll add years to my life
in-between

This is good:
finding that sweet spot
of the in-between
Sounds like a great first line of a new poem…
