You provoked me

How did I provoke you?

Strategy

          Where none exists

It’s pool. It’s only a game.

Then play the game

I will, but I’m allowed to call things what I wish . .

. . Not while playing me

                          Call em wha they are

their game was improving

seeing shots  combinations

                              however

executing those had been slimpickins

ones that fell elated them whether one or the other made it

                                                               it wasnt queer to celebrate the others success

they werent playing for money yet

walking around the pool table

                                originally he tried to enforce courtesy by getting out of the buddys frame to shoot

action  not words

motherfucker

               even when hed ask him to move  wasnt takin the hint

he told him he wasnt asking any longer

                                           Wanna get the fuck  out of the way

maybe he thought he was being cute

he wasnt

            Woudya get out of my field of vision

truth was if he was a chick she could stay

he was not

after each shot made or missed they get up on the rails and assess the next shot  eithers next shot

discuss it

buddy was late to the game

he on the other hand in his youth made bank hustlin

as a matter of fact he dropped out of college twice to shoot

                                                              years ago

he saw the table completely different

before buddy shot eightball nineball he had him explain where he was going and where he intended to lay the ball for his next shot

               he saw rudimentary shots

Don get better ifya don challenge yourself

                                            We arent playing for money   Yet

silently he watched buddy survey the ball arrangement

what he saw was significantly more elaborate

Decided

I have.

Where ya going

buddy said

              an while buddy was saying a long ago game in Miami against a knockout chickthey were playing for clothing suddenly waft into his mind

she was down to her panties

she kept standinwigglin bentover in his field of vision

                                                         gyrated above the pocket he was going to

when he beat her out of her panties she told him she wasnt taking them off if he wanted them hed have to take them off her

he took his sweet time about it

Where ya going

buddy elaborated

Howbout this

Didn’t see it.

              That’s tempting, but not that tempting.                                                    

Yahweel 

             too bad he could see what was in his eyes

after 1600,  Saturday,  17  2. 24

0903,  2sday,  20  2. 24

if he was anything  he was consistent

                                              consistently awry

if it sounded like a knock

                            it was

texting his texts werent cute he wasnt a chick  no chicks he knew would tolerate him being cute

                                                                                                     texted him this

  :  :  The 3D fish is eVolViNg!! 

what the fuck eVolViNg

this fish had been a point of conjecture    NO consternation

                                                                     describing it to him over coffee he said the fish was ceramic and he was going to decorate it with paint

Ceramic

Yes.

Like a platter

               Glaze it fire it

No. It’s like clay.

Ceramic

Like clay.

Is it flat

It’s curved like a fish.

Like a serving plate

Curved.  Like a fish.

A shallow concave to it to hold food items

No. Curved.

Painting it  Not glazing

Yes.

Is it three-dimensional

Yes.

FUCK
