As the pockets claim two balls
The first round arrives

I like this one! Maybe it’s cuz it reminds me of an old poem I wrote…had to dig this one up:
Eight Ball
Just the sound of it eases me,
the click-clack of the rack, the roll
of the stick over felt to make sure
it’s straight, the thud of the break and
the sink of the balls. Each shot a
perfect course, each measure, each line.
Just the motion of it thrills me
massés and breaks and sweet straight shots.
Of course, that’s not beer talk (hangs head).
