“You spoke carefully, as if the story was a flame in your hands in the wind. ...I wanted to cry but did not yet know how to in English. So I did nothing. That was the day I learned how dangerous a colour can be. ...Even if colour is nothing but what the light reveals, that nothing has laws, and a boy on a pink bike must learn, above all else, the law of gravity.” — Ocean Vuong
You spoke carefully, as if the story was a flame in your hands in the wind.
...I wanted to cry but did not yet know how to in English. So I did nothing.
That was the day I learned how dangerous a colour can be.
...Even if colour is nothing but what the light reveals, that nothing has laws, and a boy on a pink bike must learn, above all else, the law of gravity.
