stay with me now...i loved the poem and ignored the title...it works you know...here are some slight suggestions -- cut "some" in the second stanza -- this gives you three perfect lines. Might say cut the "and" between the second lift and dive -- and this last line --It’s not like any time that he knows. Simply for the sound of it, I would change it to "It's not like any other time."
