car rides.

sitting in the back seat, staring at cars fly past ours in the other direction,
wondering where they're going,
how long it'll take for them to get to their destination,
what they're thinking while they're on the road.
sitting in the back seat, not having to navigate,
to pay attention to signs,
whether or not cars are signaling,
not needing to talk to the driver or anyone else.
keep to yourself, think as loud as you'd like.
you've got the whole back seat for your own,
so fill the space by emptying everything you've got.
