"you cyaan always tell,You know.You cyaan always tell!"
"Its like 'em ,what'u go call them?!"
"Ya mon! Dominoes!" She shakes her head in agreement with her own words.
"What's you on about, mama?" Calls the daughter,impatiently
"There." The old woman points with her lips “Mi wi si yuh.” she says,kissing air
"Old man bags packed-gone!" She flicks her fingers to signal finality.
"She lady crying calling 'atta him!"
"Come off the window mama!It's none of our business!" She hiss at her mother
"Yaaah!" She retorts,supporting her frail body on the cane "Mi tell you know"
"Love, fate,dominoes," she heaves heavily as she sits by the fireplace
"Dem will fall, where When dem please!!!"
PS:
Cyaan: Patois for can't/cannot
mi wi si yuh: Patois for bye/see you around
