100x450 - 12 - there is something true in this

There is something earnest in the pool balls sliding over green felt worn by accidental spills and years and years of earnest games, games with wagers and games with beers and games with yelling and shouting. There is something earnest in country music and rock music and the occasional Top 40 hit played over the jukebox which has no opinion of its own but is instead guided by quarters, dimes, insistent fingers and hands.

There is something earnest in dancing and singing and calls to the police to please escort that drunk out of here he is making a scene.
