Verse
Old friends. Old friends.
Sat on their park bench like bookends.
A newspaper blown through the grass falls on the round toes
of the high shoes of the old friends.
Verse
Old friends. Winter companions, the old men.
Lost in their overcoats waiting for the sunset.
Bridge
The sounds of the city, shifting through trees
settle like dust on the shoulders of the old friends.
Middle 8

Silently sharing the same fears.
Bookends theme:

A time of innocence, a time of confidences
Long ago it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories,
they're all that's left you.
