Between Tick and Tock

I am here
then gone 
there
somewhere
nowhere
in a split second

a short duration of time 
that seems beyond time 
like the duration of time it takes 
a bouncing ball
at the very very top of the bounce
to start descent 

no more tricks or treats for me
no more ticks or tocks 
but me 
caught floating 
for one very very long duration of time
between tick and tock
