A moment in time independent from the rest

a platform disconnected from formal ground

a life inside the life inconsequential but real

a parallel universe optional to this one

Wondering who can tell the truth

too far to one side takes you to the other side

I can tell you 'bout my own truth

too far one way takes you the other way

And I slip inside

a world in stand-by while life goes on

stop is a start in suspended time

whatever has been left behind

keep on feeding the suspended time

A possibility explored but not developed

a visited fantasy excluded from history

a personal snapshot or a private play

an alternative nest of living memory

Wondering who can tell the truth

too far to one side takes you to the other side

I can tell you 'bout my own truth

too far one way takes you the other way

And I slip inside

a world in stand-by while life goes on

stop is a start in suspended time

whatever has been left behind

keep on feeding the suspended time

A hyphen between you and I

between here and there

between in and out

between up and down

A world in stand-by while life goes on

stop is a start in suspended time

whatever has been left behind

keep on feeding the suspended time
