Simon and Garfunkel - Bookends

For those who found the last writeup uninformative, however eloquent, bookends are objects, usually decorative, which are designed to rest on (or clip onto) a bookshelf in order to delimit different sections or prevent the books falling over or off the end. Plastic and metal bookends are generally unsightly, but most wooden bookends have interesting shapes or are modelled on characters from fiction or twee teddies.

Separated by hours
her CD player, his ears
his windchimes, her seagulls
sharing the same music

Separated by minutes
words became letters became books
fingers turning pages
sharing the same words

Separated by seconds
eye to eyelash
lips parted, but closing
sharing the same breath
