when i was little
i used to say i had this thing
called
drippy eye
and so
when it looked like i was
crying
i really wasn't
it was just my
drippy eye
playing up. first trip
away from home
they all
took it in turns
to call home
from the
hotel phone. when i was
passed
the receiver
i stood
with my smiling face
and my drippy eye
and shook
my head.
i don't get homesick, i said.
He asked me if I missed you. i said no
i had
gotten used to
you
not being
around, by now,
and it wasn't like
we ever called each other
like
lovers anyhow. He
turned
around
from my
smiling face, not a
plumber
by trade,
his hand trying to wrench tight
the gaps
on the
leaking
tap.
i
don't
get
homesick, i said,
don't
ever
call
when i'm away
and if you
ever
think to ask,
i'll say
it's nothing,
it's just
my
blasted
drippy
eye
playing
up
again.
