A quick turn in conversation
A return
To a thought
To a memory.
If a person weren’t paying attention
One could think he was still in the previous thought
– that is, he could be asking if they’ll be armed when they hold the watch
maybe that’s the question they think they’re answering
but somehow they all understand each other here
or at least give the appearance to
and all the information is accurate because conveniently
both the ghost and the watch are likely to be armed.
