A REAL SlamDunk

Metaphysical Billiards 1001

   When I was playing pool on
The Kalamazoo State Hospital Campus,
a Challenger, who had an
Excaliber Tattoo’D on his shooting forearm,
taught me about ‘communications’
being the #1 Priority
target of Vietnam tactics,
and then proceeded to run
the series of combinations off the 8-ball,
sinking the whole damned fleet of solids,
only to redefine ‘forfeit’ by splitsinking
the cue ball off the doomed 8.

The psychiatrists were drugging
this psychic/mystic warrior,
but it surely didn’t hurt his game,
or his teaching skills.
