Philip Beard Quotes

I Can See The Driver As If I'm Looking At Him Through Binoculars, Bending To Adjust The Volume On His Radio, Eyes Wide At What He Hears, Which I Can't Understand Because When He Hits You There Is Only Silence. My Feet, Pounding Through The Grass, Make No Sound. I Know That My Mouth Is Open, That Air Is Rushing Across My Stretched Vocal Chords, But I Hear Nothing. You Lift Into The Air And The Car Is Past Before You Land Silently At My Feet, As If Something As Small As You Couldn't Possibly Make A Sound In A World Where Buildings Can Come Down.
