A woman I don’t know named Zee
used the word liminal for her life
(my life is liminal) on a recent zoom call
and another woman I don’t know said
I’m so happy you used the word liminal
and I who read Anu Garg’s free word a day
had an imperfect idea about the liminal definition
(adjective: relating to a transitional stage
of a process; occupying a position at, or on both sides,
of a boundary or threshold) so I googled
liminal while they were talking and thought
I could say I am not liminal
but didn’t.
