Bowling is the sport of the social American and has remained unchanged for millions of years. It is the hallmark of advanced civilization.
On a nightly basis, me and my friends Walter
and Donny arrange our problems and metaphysical contradictions into neat rows and
knock the hell out of them.
It's like the whole of human existence compressed into a sixty by three and a half foot lane. Ins and outs - You're either in the gutter or you're hefting a perfectly hooking ball into the 1-2 pocket for a clean, loud strike.
All the girlfriends in the adjoining lanes are watching you. You don't even bother to stand and watch the aftermath - you know all the maples are gone.
It's primeval, man...deeply satisfying.
