Up or down
forward or back
Polarity ends
in a panic attack
Start, stop
the stillness portends
The middle a wasteland
lost years of pretend
Before or after
in front or behind
Timing entraps
with the devil's design
Salvation, damnation
souls to contend
To live or to die
—to start or to end
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August,2018)

I would like to translate this poem
Opposite choices that always make us stop, because each leads to different extremes. The middle a wasteland lost years of pretend Very true, very true.
