slow-motion impact
turns this one-way 
into a carousel.
never noticed 
this road
had more than 
 one angle
they weren't supposed to be
driving down this lane,
but without them
I wouldn't have noticed what
cherry blossoms look like
upside-down...
raspberry and strawberry clouds
tranquilizing the neurons.
A flurry of gloved hands
pulling, 
tugging...
I didn't want to be right-side up yet.
