My brother, mother and I are in our Volvo.
We are on route 9, sliding down-
towards Boston.
I am 8 years old,
my brother is 10
God, he seems so old
All-of-a-sudden, I-imagine-myself-gone.It-is-as-though-I-am-gone-from
this-world.I-imagine-that-I-don't-exist.If-I-stay-silent-long-enough
no-one-will-see-me-I-will-disappear.No-one-has-talked-to-me-in-8-minutes. Does-it-mean-that-I-am-gone? I- hold-my-breath-and-no-one-can-hear-me, no-one-can-see-me.
Have-I-disappeared?

Samuel i like this one a lot the words you wrote seem like they are really happening to somebody
I think this is a beautifully written poem, brings back all the memories of playing in blanket covers, building dens (aka castles) from our old brown leather sofa and thinking I had been swept off into a world of fantasy... Love it. Ps. thanks for your comments on my material, it means alot. Regards

Wow! I really enjoyed your style of writing in this poem. It really did remind me of a young child. It was enchanting.
