we 
were young and on the 
way home from Joliet and from family gatherings (in the 
white cushioned chair, high backed and gold leafed, up on the carpet like a dry riverbed, I had slapped my aunt for eating my Christmas present candy), the moon 
would follow us. Peering out of the Caravan 
window, I 
watch it stay even 
with us on the highway because, it too, 
was going 
where 
we 
were.
