We Only Drove a Few Miles

I drove ahead on autopilot
listening intently
though anonymously
as my eldest daughter
told a tale
to her toddler sister.

She made it up
as she went along,
crocheting with words
inspired by a book of photographs.

"I like that you like paper",
she said,
as her sister's head of blonde curls
turned to look out of the window
uninterested.
