I want to take a vacation,
road trip like we used to,
get in the car, drive till we're lost and
find our way back again.
But there's no point.
It would just be me and Joy.
And while we'd have fun,
we wouldn't have loud singing,
and Clay fretting,
and Patrick wheezing,
and Cole staring at his gameboy,
and Anna Li staring out the window.
and you wouldn't be there.
We wouldn't have slamwiches.
We wouldn't drive as long,
or as far away,
and I might not find
our way home again.
Jane EB Smith Jul 2012. I have since discovered that road trips are fun, that Joy and I have traditions like always having pillows, blankets, emergency food and water. We've been to Dollywood, Charleston a hundred times, Texas and back...I discovered that I'm enough.
