GAME THEORY

There is a math

a science

to certain games

that I prefer

to the unreliability of life.

In chess, there is strike and counterstrike

equations to anticipate actions

an ability to predict an adversary's opposition.

In Pool halls

you can mathematically predict

what your competition can accomplish.

You can collect foreknowledge of conclusions

quickly.

There is much to be said for knowing the game

and how it is played.

There is much strength

in being aware of your surroundings

and preparing properly.

I find it valuable to play games

more valuable, perhaps

than playing life.
