Family gabfests are apt to range swiftly from one topic to another: memories shared;
a touch at politics; who is doing what, when, and where. An endless discussion that
leaps from math to kids to computers to books …
LOSING THE THREAD 
our conversation moves
from stool to rocking chair
picks up trailing fingers
curls over one son’s head
then weaves arabesques of laughter
over the coffee table
until it drops into a cave
under the chesterfield
to be eaten by cats
