AI Interpretation
This fragment imagines a figure existing in the in-between of time, as if identity itself were a temporal interval rather than a fixed person.
Because the page is so brief, it works almost like a note toward a larger metaphysical claim. The phrase "in between / of time" gives the figure a suspended, threshold quality, and the all-caps opening makes the question feel both emphatic and tentative.
Two lines that work as a note toward a larger claim: 'WASEN'T he the in between / of time.' The phrasing turns a figure into a temporal interval rather than a fixed person, and the all-caps opening makes the question both emphatic and tentative -- a rhetorical question carrying its own answer. The source spelling 'WASEN'T' keeps the hesitation visible on the page.
