Halfway

Halfway down the stairs
is a stair
where i sit.
there isn't any
other stair
quite like
it.
i'm not at the bottom,
i'm not at the top;
so this is the stair
where
I always
stop.

Halfway up the stairs
Isn't up
And it isn't down.
It isn't in the nursery,
It isn't in town.
And all sorts of funny thoughts
Run round my head.
It isn't really
Anywhere!
It's somewhere else
Instead!

A.A Milne

I've had a busy morning, just walked the dog in the rain and have hit an impasse - not enough time to do anything constructive before I need to go out, a feeling that I ought to do something useful that's preventing me from being self indulgent before I do.

As a result, I'm just kind of perched on the stairs, collecting my thoughts.

The dog looks confused.
