Why Dad Lives There

Dad and I were
the same on the phone.
Neither wanted to be first.
I waited before elaborating on the question
I'd asked him before, but differently.

He answered with the noncommittal
timbre he had given her.
But he stayed here.

I said okay.
He said yeah.
His voice hovered as he waited
for someone else to make things happen.
