The mother
And I aim for the concealed space
I have come this far.
Over one table
A mirror appears in my mother.
She says, “Aim here with a pool stick.”
I haven’t come that far in my life yet.
When the cue ball drops,
You are expected to know where all of the best players are.
Top players are aware of this,
You ought to be conscious of the cue ball’s landing place.
She claims, “Here, aim.
I haven’t gotten to that point in my life yet.”
My mother takes a pool stick and transforms into a mirror.
Over one table
Now that I’ve come this far,
I try to aim for the invisible spot.
The mother.
