I hope you're enjoying the ride - sounds like you are! Your mum tries to shush you so you flap instead; the little kid opposite's curious 'cause you're not what he's come to expect of someone your age. To myself I name some of the differences: i'm older you're younger i'm a woman you're a boy i'm knitting you're fidgeting i'm quiet now you're noisy now i talk a lot you like silence i'm here on impulse you prefer predictable i read novels I expect you prefer dinosaurs or technical magazines i like model railways you probably like to identify train models and chassis numbers and the identity badges on planes i saw you in the aisle. You didn't notice me. I conclude we're quite alike; we're people who like being on trains Your mother's suggesting you calm down I think of Andrew's mom asking why he should act different just to make other people not feel uncomfortable. I think if they don't like your gestures and sounds they can move. You can't. You are who you are and can't change that. I hope your mother doesn't shush you too much I hope you're enjoying the ride (c) bronwyn angela white, 2014
