Frayed

No, I don’t miss you. I resent
your leaving me. I’m seething

fist to jowl, wondering how
you’ll get home from the airport

when you expect me there
to pick you up, a support-

ing character,
chain, ball –

Not even
a phone call?

You expect me
to be so effortless,

to wait on you
when you come home?
