my homecoming is interrupted.

goodbye, canada, goodbye!
homehomehomehomehomehome

i pause.

i don't think this is homesickness
this is yousickness, or youallsickness
because even though i love you
i need to be alone.

i am, at heart, someone who needs time alone
to think
to breathe
to be alone.
some of youall think it's because i dont like you
when i'm alone
but that's why i youallsick.

it's not the people about home
it's the people about HOME,
and the things at home
like a bed that's all mine
and shampoo and
lights out when i say.

and homehomehome!

i come home and get all justmesick
but i love justmesick because i grew up that way
and i love it i love it i love it and

home and

...sleep.
