Michael Yonkers with The Blind Shake - Carbohydrates Hydrocarbons [mp3]
There is this little white orb and it bounces. It is of a plastic polycarbonate slightly perforated construction and it bounces. We in our hands, each right, each night, hold tight, we rhyme a paddle with our saddles and it bounces. Probably it is not polycarbonate but it bounces. We drink beer and it bounces. He looks across the table with a glare gleaming as I lay in wait dreaming and it bounces. A sip, we sip, another sip before he lifts into the air slightly tumbling a trembling, it nearly nears the pergola ceiling before neatly attacking the near nothing and it bounces. For a time our gaze guides little lasers into the corner without so much as a shuffle, our weight leaning back and forth before a slice recoils and it bounces. He is no grander gardener than I as he tramples the dying daffodils daring a playful prayer, it propels into the air and it bounces. Something like a scuffle with the fence, a left and a right into the wooden planks before a kick dislodges with might, we might, she might, let’s might and say we did but it bounces. “Holy shit!” and it bounces. Consecutively we flail forgetting the laws of physics, we slide a cradle under the little brittle blur bouncing leaps and bounds, it travels leaps and bounds, I leap and he bounds bullets blasted and bucked, bending and ending with a “pong” neverending and it bounces. Something like awe overcomes the contestants competing for no prize, a thirst for a sip abates with rapt attention, the ball travels together with hopes healing a long dormant rivalry recalled, he thinks, “Remember when we used to do this all the time?” and it bounces. These clicks, his clack with such power performing under pressure was never his game but it bounces. A blast for the win is caught from his knees but then an elated return, a deflated reply, the point is his and it bounces underline.
