Silence -- complete silence for the urbanite, though the
oncoming darkness is punctuated by the sounds of farm

some heavy clouds on the horizon, a dogs barking.

a fine sunset in its final throes. Then, gradually,

9-ball is rotation pool.
The balls are pocketed
in numbered order.
The only ball
that means anything...
that wins it,
is the 9.
