Halfway Down the Stairs

Halfway down the stairs
Is a stair where I sit
There isn't any other stair quite like it
I'm not at the bottom
I'm not at the top
So this is the stair where I always stop

Halfway down the stairs
Isn't up and isn't down
It isn't in the nursery; it isn't in the town
And all sorts of funny thoughts
Run 'round my head
It isn't really anywhere, it's somewhere else instead

--A.A. Milne
