waking up from my backseat nap
angel-hair skewed and sweaty
dad driving, mom looking at the country
or at nothing
where are we going?
they don't respond or even look my way
rubbing my eyes, I try again
my sister looks at me with pouty irritation
where are we going?
she pretends she knows,
I know she doesn't
we pass other drivers on the road
some have my expression
most just keep driving
or looking at the country
or at the person next to them
or at nothing
