A meio das escadas / Halfway down the stairs

Este é um poema de Alan Alexander Milne (1882 –1956), autor inglês que ficou célebre pela criação do ursinho Winnie-the-Pooh.

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 up the stairs
Isn't up
And it isn't down.
It isn't in the nursery,
It isn't in town.
And all sorts of funny thoughts
Run round my head.
It isn't really
Anywhere!
It's somewhere else
Instead!
