I found you

cast in pink

bubble gum,

straight from

the years of our

youth,

without a wrinkle,

like I had just blinked,

like a day had never gone

by; 

and then we drove

our cars to the edge of the

earth,

to the sea,

where I smiled

at you and you smiled

right back, 

so sprightly

at me.
