One Bowl

Tee's invitation at the workshop at closing time, Ton sweeping up: come on, the night market's open; can't, I'm on air at seven; come on, Uncle Boon closes at midnight; and Mali; Nam phoned, she said go; my treat, don't be shy about it; then one bowl; one bowl, nobody eats one bowl: the come-ons of an invitation, and the excuse and the insisting.
