I am not sure if this is what you want but somebody on this list  
(can't remember who) once made up the following for me which works  
just like \intertext

%\begin------------------------------------- 
INTERITEMTEXT---------------------------------------     	
	            \makeatletter
	            \newcommand{\interitemtext}[1]{%
	            \begin{list}{}
	            {\itemindent=0mm\labelsep=0mm
	            \labelwidth=0mm\leftmargin=0mm
	            \addtolength{\leftmargin}{-\@totalleftmargin}}
	            \item #1
	            \end{list}}
	            \makeatother
%----------------------------------------- 
INTERITEMTEXT---------------------------------------end
