the ether, a billiard's table -
moon the cue ball, stars scattered balls

It was my turn and I ran the table
I was never known as incapable
Last was the 8 ball
I made a good call
And I double banked it is the fable.

I went out to a bar one night
To have myself a beer
I went to a place I've never been before
So I knew nobody there
I watched two fellas shooting pool
And they looked like they were good
I asked them both, if I can play
And they said, "Boy, do you think you could"
When it was my turn to play
One of them handed me the cue
He asked me if I wanted to break
I said, "I don't mind if I do"
After I broke the rack of balls
The eight ball dropped right in
I beat his butt pretty fast
And I chalked me up a win
He said, "Boy that was luck
Can I play you one more time"
He was dropping all the quarters
So I really didn't mind
He racked the balls and he said to me
"Do you want to wage a bet?"
I told him to be careful;
"It's a bet you might regret"
He laid down a twenty-dollar note
And said to me, "Let's play"
I was feeling good and on my game
So I said, "Okay"
I broke the rack and hit them hard;
I gave those balls a ride
The eight ball rolled all around
Then it fell into the side
I didn't take his twenty-dollars
Even though I knew I won
I just had him buy me my next beer
And said, "Practice up there, son"

Her smile shed a glow,
her smirk shows her skill,
cutting on the curvature,
banking on the opponent,
dropping like a pro,
moving like a dancer
sculpted of sensual stone
smooth and flawless,
braids cascading down
emphasizing lushes lips of pink.
Tantalizing
dark eyes
drawing you in
stalling your game,
the epitome
of a full moon in a cloudless sky
at midnight,
the eloquence of natural beauty.
