One Word

Father's Day dinner at the house behind the pier, the whole family at the table: as for me, I thought I could row; and Dad; Uncle Chai, he didn't say a word; I handed him the oar, that's all; the boat turned round twice; three, then I said one word, slowly; as for the oar, it has teeth marks; as for Dad, he says slowly to everyone: putting the topic first, with the little words that mark it.
