Beat
6/25/97

Listen!
Do you hear it?
The air is filled with it.
An arrhythmic thumping sound.
Close your eyes!
Do you feel it?
Like shock waves against your skin.
Look around you!
Can you see it?
Out of the corner of your eye.
Does it show in those about you?
Do you know it?
It's the beat of a broken heart.
You recognize it...
Don't you?
