The Joke at the Table
Sunday lunch at the family table, back from Chiang Mai: eat, you've gone thin; the name on the boat leans a bit; I didn't mean anything by it; you didn't say it at home, you said it at the table; the soup is cold already; didn't you notice; nothing, I pass the rice, nobody said anything: didn't, the little word that denies a past act.
