\"TimeMachine\"<\/a><\/p>\n

DEJA VU 4 2<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

We’re all getting tired of going by car.
\nWe need something new to make our bell ring.
\nPerhaps a new vehicle could take us far.
\nA sleek time machine might be just the thing!
\nI would go back before time raised the bar;
\nwhen I and my lover were fresh as the Spring,
\nEnjoying each other in love that we shared,
\nhearts beating in time as two souls were bared.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Not just the lovemaking turned up the heat,
\nbut two minds of a kind which perceived its mate.
\nImpulsive hand-holding and intertwined feet.
\nTheir chance for a dance on a fortunate date,
\nwas enjoyed in the void where two heartstring ends meet.
\nBack to that unique intersection of fate,
\nA time-shifting machine would be gone for so long,
\nwhile two sing the song which was never sung wrong!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

PLAYING WITH TIME-FIRE<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

My first trip to England followed upon
\nthe quadricentennial of Shakespeare’s birth.
\nStratford-on Avon his hometown, on park lawn,
\nhad an exhibition of great depth and girth.
\nIncluded was a glimpse down a street then long gone,
\nwith models of people from that time, froze in mirth
\nThe eeriest sight I ever did see,
\nLooked, sounded, smelled so very real to me!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

If I had a time machine, I’d travel back
\nto the wilds of Elizabethan England,
\nGo poking about through that open time crack.
\nSee if the Tudor was part of a ruder band.
\nOr if they knew old joys which modern times lack.
\nWhat burned bright when flames of prior knowledge were fanned?
\nAnd how would my presence then affect the future?
\n…Close back that crack; anyone got a suture?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
