i can't see outside the car
it's not dark anymore but i can't see past the windshield
i can barely see his bag explode
it is silent except for the bang when we hit
the first wall
and then the bang and screech as we slide down the other

it's exactly like they say
slow motion
silent
until the car comes to a stop and i hear him asking
are you okay
are you okay
are you okay

i can't breathe right
i can't talk
this moment won't end.
