Love and the 8ball by Bradd HowardI've learned everything I need to know
from smoke filled billiard halls.
... everything can be accomplished with a carefully aimed shot.
Sometimes having no balls is perfectly o.k.
... even our most trusted tools can slip right through our fingers with out the perfect grip.
Maybe love is remembering to chalk your friend's cue...
Maybe love is accidentally (unpurpose) knocking in your partner's balls.
Maybe love is a carefully aimed shot which misses it's mark (slightly)
Maybe love is the 8ball that refuses to enter a pocket and just rolls around the table all night.
alluding carefully aimed shots. 05/06/2005 Author's Note: just re-found this piece... I think I kinda like it...
