Lets play pool

let’s play pool

so I can watch you under the bar lights

the way the pool stick slides

between your fingers

the way your muscles flex when

you pull your arm back to aim

the way your face looks when

you are concentrated

focused

determined

let’s play pool

so I can see the way your lips

wrap around your cigarette

and the way your eyes

gently close

as you breathe in

the way your hand grazes mine

for more than an appropriate time

as you hand it over to me

so I can take a smoke too

but the real buzz I’m getting

is from being near you

let’s play pool

so we can exchange music

and I can take home

another piece of you

through my headphones

after we part ways

at the end of the night

let’s play pool

so I can get just an hour or two

of alone time with you
