Time Benders

We used to bend time together.
Watch minutes go backwards
and seconds disappear
into thin air
as we lent ears
to each other's high rises and flat lows--
Life Stories.
Treetops above us,
grass under toe,
standing below 
building stories on city blocks.

Laughter filled vacuums
of time erased;
and smiles took the place of
whatever else donned our face
before we met
and spent the day together;
beating the train schedule,
racing the sunset --
in parks and gardens
on promenade boardwalks.
Have to go to work today,
but not before we play...
with time.

Make it dance to
our rhythm and rhyme.
Bend backwards like acrobats
of the Big Apple CIRCle US
Like pi d.
No beginning or end,
Just two friends - together
Making Time bend.
