what i don't do

what i don't do
is call
my father to ask him why
he never
drove the one hundred and
eighty miles
to visit me.
why he never took 
the train, or bus,
or drove in my direction.
he never flew.
instead, i pack a bag
and go to
him. with
no resentment,
no complaint.
love like that is true.
