Phil brought up Isaiah’s science,
About the idea, as accepted as gravity,
Of spontaneous generation.
Ah, the limits of science.
Abraham remarked that that was like
What we’d read that day about the Wright brothers.
Everyone knew man couldn’t fly . . .
Until they did.
From there, we moved to power voice,
That deeper, falling intonation that
Demonstrates full control.
And I talked about one way to reduce cancer risk:
To breathe from the diaphragm,
So the stomach acts as a bellows, in and out.
It was a real family meal, with laughter and participation.
