They come in hard plastic cases with little individual plastic sleeves
They come in flimsy cardboard boxes with innards that open out in the oddest of ways
They come to my iPod and send their signal through a cassette adapter
They entertain me
They inform me
They disturb me
They keep me awake on long drives
They quadruple my reading capacity
They give my mind phrases to savor, like:
Hope, Patrick knew, was the exact measure of distance between himself and the person who’d come for help. (Jodi Picoult in Nineteen Minutes)
Me, alone but in the finest of company, devouring audiobooks as I drive.
Wife of one, Mom of two, Friend of many. My pronouns are she/her/hers.
I should try books on tape – I have an hour of so each day in the car. 😉
i definitely could have written about the music and artists who keep me company in my van.. bathed in music is my current favorite place to be… while the willow tree was that in my childhood. I loved your take on this, giving me a deeper look at you and part of your life I might not have asked about 🙂
Free verse poetry is my favorite kind 🙂 No rules!!
Audio books are amazing. Yay technology!
What great company you keep!
That is quite the list of people you have in the car with you.
What a great take on the prompt! Wish I could listen to books in the car, but I believe my 2 year-old would outshout it!
