the world traveler

when she
returns from a long stay
in England,
she has
a British accent.
a slight
one,
but one just the same.
it's teatime she says
at four,
setting out
cups and saucers,
crumpets.
small cookies.
at night she wants
to go to the pub
and drink
then use the loo.
she quotes Yeats now
and Dylan Thomas,
Larkin
and more.
next month she's traveling
to Italy,
things are about
to change again
when
she returns to our shores.
