A Daydreamer From Way Back

I daydream in my car
driving on auto pilot

Not surprised when I reach
work, as it happens daily.

I am in the zone of
complete and utter unknowing

Scary when you realize 
I am behind the wheel of a car

I am a daydreamer from way back.
It started in third grade

When an overly harsh teacher 
shut me down almost completely

Daydreaming saved me daily in her class,
for she thought I was listening so I was not punished as often as the others.
