Of smile I wear, a facial shrug that lays aside

The done and not. ?

She is the now of just ?

A minute, the stamping foot of childhood ?

That demands the ever present. ?

Her gift to me is simple: ?

She can dimple time, the way ?

To guess its flavor, ?

Laughing so hard that time capitulates. ?

There's a momentary crumple, it bends, ?

Rebounds, and I've gained ?

A second on the world.
