men at play

going to hit the alleys
duckpins of the working-class,
the antithesis of the horsey set
with their bridle paths
and tally-ho bullshit,
hurling that ball - a comet
from the right hand of god
smashing the pins like the athenians
at marathon, crushing the persian line
it's a treasure trove of sensory input
and the people are funny too!
with their shirts and hand-towels
the accoutrements of aficianados
as they vent the anger of a lifetime,
of swing shifts and red-faced foremen
trotting on the treadmill
and never quite getting there,
if only the pins had faces
if only the horses could speak
