Family Christmas Car Rides From The Past

Sitting in the back was always my preference.
I couldn’t tell you why I just wanted to vibe.
Vibe alone at the time.
Big headphones blocked my ears.
Visualization at such a young age was really activated.
Back then I wasn't even over stimulated.
Like many today.
Overstimulated.
Who are we to blame them?
If I fell asleep I’d wake up after like I never slept.
Can’t wait to see Grandma and Grandpa.
The home cooked food would be eaten as long as I could handle.
I anticipated some really cool gifts.
I’d make sure my sugar  intake was high.
I knew it would be a long night.
Please don’t make me talk too much when it was my turn to unwrap my gifts.
I’d be shy.
Older now the ride is still the same.
Except the headphones are replaced with me alone in the front as the driver. - Clearminded Villain Poetry
