Dirty Pool

Thwak. Thud. Crack. Wobble. Plop. Harder. Faster. Slower. Softer. Line it up. Get it in. Plan the next move. Reduce the chances for the next one. Own it. Pull back. Follow through. Angle it here. Nudge it there.

Find the sweet spot.

Unbutton your shirt. Get him excited. The power of the game is yours. Bend over. Stretch. Focus.

Find your inner warm knowing calm.

She loves him. She watches him. He adores her. He doesn’t know how to get rid of her.

Why do men always default to women are crazy?

My wife is a crazy redhead. Watch out for redheads. She kicks me out of the house every week, he says with a proud smile.

Find a song for me smiling lady.

Get married. Don’t get laid. My wife lives in Virginia, I fix up the house on the weekends. Want a married boyfriend during the week? At least he’s honest, she thinks. Been there, not going back. That’s ok, I can take care of myself. He says. She says.

I wonder where my son got that independent, stubborn streak. It couldn't have been from you m'dear. He says with a beer-filled guffaw.

I can help. Call me. I’ll come over anytime. You shouldn’t be alone, pretty gal that you are.

You’re always fun to shoot with. Can I buy you a drink for a smoke? I’m drinking whiskey tonight. That’s okay, you’ll smoke with me.

Scratch my back. A little lower. It’s raining tonight. Play me the blues. Alright, she says with tears in her eyes.

He gives her advice. Warns her when she's about to make a silly shot. They roll their eyes. Isn’t it about winning?

I love coming here every week. No matter how bad things are, folks are friendly and they smile.

I suspect that’s why most folks are here.

Really?

Yes.

Dirty pool.

Life is a game of give and take.
