specifically thanksgiving,
christmas
and how i was dressed
in 'sunday clothes'
through the years, a passenger in my parents car, anticipating the meal, the presents
but in the latter years i have worn whatever i want
my family matches

i am now reminded of my bout w.time and
how i arrive ten minutes past noon and when i
pull up everybody's car is there and
they're all waiting for me be present
