The Funambulist

The Thin Line Between

By M. Fritz WunderliPublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

Bi-pedal.

2 feet along a razor's edge

Straddling the line between

2 worlds.

Bi-capitate.

Split in 2, torn down the middle

Balancing the fringe between

2 sides.

Bi-partite.

2 parts of me to choose from

Wavering and leaning between

2 halves.

Bi-semic.

2 meanings for one person

Choosing who I am between

2 definitions.

Bi-phasic.

2 phases to move through

Stuck in the crease between

2 chapters.

Bi-facial.

2 faces to present, to reveal

A narrow contour between

2 surfaces.

Bi-cardial.

2 to beat, pump, and love means

More to accept, more to share between

2 hearts.

Bi-full.

2 to make me whole, complete

Don't want to choose between

2 features.

Bi-ocular.

2 eyes to see myself more clearly

No thin filament between

2 points.

Bi-pedal.

2 feet on the ground, running

No longer straddling between

2 worlds.
