Skee Ball

Aaron Belz

It's true that I am experienced in the ways of freeform thought. However, others are equally, if not more, experienced than i. In fact, although I practice stream of consciousness in a professional way (if my way can be considered 'professional'), and often enjoy observing the way others' minds move about unhindered by reason, I'm better at doing other things, such as skee ball. Skee ball, to me, is paradigmatic. One rolls something toward an oddly confusing goal, the thing leaps unpredictably, and satisfies the 'demands' of the 'machine' to a greater or lesser degree. For some reason, my balls always hit 50 in the center, or 100 in one of the upper corners. I am what's known in the world of skee ball as a 50/100 roller. Hence, I take all the tickets; I get all the teddy bears. I am the skee ball king, if you will.
