The Family Table
The house behind the pier, the evening Jack said yes to the yard: I'm going to work at the yard, a year; why a year? Because I like the old boats; good, then stay here; I'm thinking of finding a room; why? Your room is upstairs; Sathorn is near the express boat, that's why it's good; why not stay here? Because of the express boat, Sundays I eat here: why, because and that's why.
