A Quiet Evening at Home

"Put your acorn in the right spot or you will get in trouble." ~ Sukha
"It's hard to know when you don't know." ~ Sarah

Ah, family. Board games, bored games,
Gossip, family dynamics.
Whom do we know, naming no names,
Whose love life's too slow, too manic?

Who might break up? Whose move is it?
Who will disappear in the fog
Of dementia, death? Who to visit?
Who adopted man, child, cat, dog,

Or bought a house they can't afford?
Who just sent me back ten spaces?
Where's my piece gone to on this board?
Here I am. Here's where my place is.
