The Soi Hears It
The mouth of the soi on the Friday morning, Nui on his bike and the vendor at her fruit cart: I heard you're getting married, is it true? True, who told you? The whole soi knows already; did your father ask himself, true or not? Half true, the master did the talking; the engagement is after New Year, isn't it? Yes, the wedding in February; congratulations, free mango: is it true, true or not, and the tag isn't it.
