A pair game
between equals
substance of players
volleying for a sister
an intention to score.

A net in between
somewhere above ground
one can play
a mean game
many odds
strike a deal
hostile thought
strike a kindling point
where odds turn
relations burn
to tunes of excess
'cause the game
involves more,
much more
tennis anyone?

I'll go for the sister
he thought, in shorts
an object of a meet
father's rich
made a mint
future's made
between sexes
volleying a shot
backhand swing
dictates
a real outcome
what it's like
to gain quickly
then think responsibly.

ther's more to the eye
then table tennis heights
she vollied
he smashed a serve
won a hard look
played a game
winning a sweatheart
here and there
between hostle thoughts
of invasive parents
how to eliminate
bad moves
acquiring favors
in deceit.

in search of problems
between one point
served in the air
the pursuit of happiness
unsettled or laid square
in terms of gain
within family
tennis games
golf matches
retreat.
