Almost
The beach at Hua Hin at noon, a parasol, ten of them and a baby with her feet in the Gulf: Tee almost lost the parasol; Mali touched the water and Mum almost cried; Mali almost cried too, then laughed; Dad almost went in with his shoes on; we almost didn't come; Grandma's under the parasol with her feet in; I almost dropped my phone in the water; today there's only one word, almost: the word for a near miss.
