an instant antidote, powerful
shorter than ten seconds
you're lip on lip
and you're flung from a car at 80 miles
in that instant you know

or more, but you know

"that moment released everything. it was like some strange fairy tale, where the Prince and Princess kiss only to find they were never meant to be together."

in my 20s and wonderful.
dressed to dress you.
