Behind the Eight Ball
by Kathleen Finn Jordan
It’s time to break
The saw toothed stick that helps you aim is ready
The cue, placed behind the rack and the break is on
Balls lunge and dance, skip and sort and it’s gaming time
The eight ball lurks a result of an unclear shot
Hard to see harder to manipulate
Like space and time
Completing tasks and getting on to dreams
Fulfilling oneself and keeping oneself afloat
Behind the eight ball stress bruises the sky and blinds the sun
Everything is made difficult
Eager to run the table one is left
With attempts, and failures, misdirections and miscues
Fighting for life and looking to tomorrow for respite.
