the news
i was eating, sister by my side.
water in a glass, but, welling, without warning, in my eyes.
what is going to change? everything? nothing?
i don't really tell people. or maybe i don't meet new people, or the ones i do meet, i don't need to tell. and does telling make me sound 'woe is me?'
or is it as simple as saying, my eyes are blue?
and who tells a stranger about the color of their eyes. a stranger can SEE the color of my eyes.
but they can't see this. which is maybe fine with me.
and so i don't tell. and people remain unknowing.
but what do my parents say? my sisters?
how do they say it? what looks do they get in return?
