this
is
what
you
hear
her
say
.
there
are
words
before
and
after
these
four
.
all
lost
to
the
din
of
dimming
machinery
you
harbour
in
your
head
.
you
tell
her
of
one
book
that
lives
inside
another
.
how
a
dead
girl's
diary
abandoned
to
the
dust
beneath
her
best
friend's
bed
creates
a
dialogue
between
wraith
and
wailer.
she
fears
nothing
she's
written
will
reach
you
in
the
same
way
.
you
aren't
so
sure
.
you
watch
her
fling
fast_food
at
passing
cars
. greasing windshields
with
good
intentions
gone
wrong
.
a
crowd
gathers. "
breaking
the
law
,
but
giving
it
away
to
save
your
fur,"
they
sing
. "
giving
in
to
cars
that
can't
run
."
every
distracted
driver
is
a
deep
sea
diver
too
far
from
the
salt
to
remember
what
they
were
made
for
.
you
who
have
never
sat
behind
the
wheel
know
this
better
than
anyone
.
