A Gentle Sway

The dark leather seat vibrated under my shoes. Green trees blurred outside the window. I blinked, realizing my toes could wiggle inside these little sneakers! I slowly shifted my weight from one foot to the other. To keep my balance against the hum of the car, I reached out and gently pressed my fingers against the smooth leather cushion right beside me. It felt soft and warm. I'm standing on my own, riding along!
