5. One and a half

A world and a half to and fro
Could not commit just to one
When in the one, the other calls
And so it’s never ever done

Time and a half spent with you
But what did we think that it all meant?
What did we make of one another
The long summer that we spent

It was a time unspoken unreal
I dreamed all day but would never say
The quiet life restrain conceal
As I blazed my manhood away

A home and a half you brought me in
Were you spinning a web for this fly?
Gathered in but never safe
As the time just passed us by

A life and a half where did we go?
Those ghostly ships pass in the night
Different headings into the mist
Slowly drifting out of sight
