when we were where we were

When 
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.
