SOCIAL TIME

• You hold my hand and whisper in my ear.
• Look, a Ferris Wheel. I say. Let’s go.
• I tell you
• We have to pass the snakey lines reaching up to the funhouse
• A teenaged girl holds out a sticky wand of cotton candy and says
• She turns toward him.
• We decide to buy twenty tickets
• Her feet not moving until they are sure she will not fall.
• We won't have to wait very long
• The Ferris Wheel stops for a moment
• We can barely see four teenage girls squeezing into a purple car.
• We have done this before.
• We let the memories of the times before take us through the now.
• Now the waiting is finished.
• We continue to whirl past the horizon
• It's the ordinary things, the minutes and seconds that show us the truth.
• You can see infinity.
• It is a clear day, one of our cobalt blue sky days with tiny wisps of clouds and the hot white sun streaming into silver in the late afternoon.
• Then, you said we could do everything
• Let's get married.
• Let's be a part of each other forever.

In this point I have included the verbs that refer to actions that occur (“A teenage girl holds out a sticky wand of cotton candy and says…”) in the same timeframe, so they are in present simple.

Also, I have decided to add in this social time section sentences said by the couple at the same particular moment (“You can see infinity”, “Let's get married.”)
