burke: Bobs in Middlemarch #

decades after my last game
there's a Bobs set
in the Middlemarch Museum

complete with wooden balls
and cue stick and numbered
doorways - and a pinboard

for keeping score. Oh, how
the years have flown into
their own continuous stream

with life taking potshots
along the way. I could have
taken a shot with my phone

but two black box Kodak
cameras take me back in time
when a phone was a phone.
