Betwixt And Between

poem by: E.J. Waling
Written on Sep 16, 2026 

Betwixt and
between.
What
to do?
Pivot
point
straight
ahead.
Full
speed
ahead,
danger
looms.
Stop,
slow down,
assess,
danger
looms.
Unleash the
Kraken.
Own the
Kraken.
Can not
control the
Kraken!
Anyone.
What
would
it do?
Lose the
Kraken.
Race lost.
Victor
stands tall.
Staring down
the rest.
Dominant,
dangerous.
Which way?
Damned
if you do.
Damned
if you
don’t.
Danger
lies ahead.
Which
would you
choose?
