Diamonds and World Ball

sick guitar riffs come and go

sometimes leave behind the lore

recorded on ancient bone

but often the molecules

break apart and reform

into something like a leaf

or like some bark from your 

favorite linden tree

the one you once carved your name into

the agony spins around your head

crying out in dry hot tub

confession can often be a form of violence

like trying to open one of those big

bottles of kombucha in the kitchen sink

and it sprays your big friendly face

but when you finally look up and see

the milky way mutate into a circuit board

you will know you are not alone

you know 

Big Joe is always with you watching

the transitive nightfall of diamonds

of diamonds

The Never Ending World Ball

The Never Ending World Ball

bouncing from your hands

to the top of the Sears Tower

to the roof of a Nissan Ultima

off your step dad's head

on to the great pyramids of Egypt

then hitting the face

of your friend drinking lemonade

lemonade everywhere

making the World Ball sticky sweet

try to lick it up

instead of tapping with fingers

tastes so good

as it drops to your feet

better kick it up

like it's a hacky sack

and you are in the parking lot 

of a Phish concert

kick the ball

over Dick's Sporting Goods Park

into the Rio Grande River

where maybe a frog will play

using his very long tongue

extending the life

of the Ball,

that's not just any Ball,

but a World Ball.

How much is that World Ball in the window?

Dragons

One way you can win at World Ball is

to never stop tapping and play forever.

Another way to win is when your

World Ball lands in a pot of gold.

Then the gold is yours

if a dragon is protecting the pot

the dragon becomes your friend

and protects your World Ball.

Dragons exist and are always 

taking one for the team

they don't mind

that's one thing that they like to do

but they're not cops

dragons are not cops

there are no cops in World Ball

If someone tries to handcuff

your World Ball, simply deflate

your ball and reinflate after they leave

or have your dragon 

set them on fire.

This is why it's quite helpful

to unlock dragon mode

by placing your World Ball 

in the pot of gold.

But not necessary since

there are no cops

in World Ball.

I never have good shoes for this, scared

and foxing, that’s the half of it

now you’re passing to me 

I’ll do a chest pass, my favourite 

Looking ahead: the World Cup

damn straight you're gonna win son

are you winning son

we don't talk like that here, it is

a kind of tourism

mystified by watching something-something young professionals do transversal passing six shots in the air for an eye's blink

everything is coming and going

we actually qualified this time 

the trophy is made of spindrift slushie

Robert Frost

 I bet Robert Frost would have loved

to watch people play world ball

making note on their patience, their reflexes

stop staring Frost Boss & get in the circle

reaching a thousand would not satisfy you

you'll never know the true truth unless

you hear its whisper between taps

I wonder if he could handle the tough love

I wonder if he's what sports fans call

"coachable"

Neuroplasticity 1.0

Can ballsports enhance neuroplasticity, even after the brain age peak. When is brain age peak? Fluid intelligence really goes off at 20 then it's a decline. As for overall intelligence, we're looking at 50s-60s. But studies of chess players suggest the real peak cognitive capacity is 35. Which is around the average or lower average age of our current World Ball cohort. Our players are at their best despite the circumstances affecting their lives. 

Motor capacity reacts at lightning pace 

to leave no tap untapped

no matrix unresolved 

It's all in the collaborative nature of the game. Mind meld functionality as we know from preliminary studies has ramped up World Ball scoring by 600%. Teams who are able to read the emotions and energies at play are much more likely to succeed, as players may intuitively pass to the right person at the right second, thus experiencing a cognitive offload via emotional memory sufficient to just 'laugh and enjoy the moment'. One team were even able to predict patterns of play via an unconscious geometry whose logic was scrawled out by a highly observant five-year-old math genius and served as a temporary (unofficial) rule book for World Ball.

BOB Ball

When Freddie punches BOB Ball is this Another World Ball?

When Freddie punches BOB Ball does he even know 

                                                        what's knocking?

When Freddie goes to the hardware store, he's always been cool.

Play World Ball with the Green Glove for only $4.99. One-off. Convert that to Sterling. 

When Freddie says 'Londontown' he reminisces gruel served in the tree-lined bleachers.

What does the World say when Freddie punches BOB??

When the Owl imprinted itself on his forehead, Who did BOB see?

Some would say too cool.

Freddie would make a great goalie.

The Boss was obviously BOB Ball. Freddie punched the shit out of that shit. 

His scream scrunched itself into a cartoon sun reincarnate of the woods in cinders.

Let's play palindrome with the air in plosives. Freddie can never take off his glove.

But what if we all had a glove? Punch, punch, punch. 

BOB wouldn't have a chance! 

Love is an inadvertent reflection, 

lens flare,

no, it's bouncing!

Can World Ball be played in winter

Some have asked, What are the optimum conditions for play? Is World Ball a seasonal sport? What would constitute a WB 'series'? 

Temperature is a relativity. We turn it up, turn it down. 

The world is a globe. 

So is World Ball. 

Does World Ball also experience global warming?

Heady World Balls

The first selection on the World Ball Tour is from August 9th, 2024. While World Balls in ’24 get a lot of attention, this game at the Nomad House in Penn Valley, CA withstands the test of time. 

The second set of World Ball kicks off with an enormous 26+ minute World Ball session A few matches later, the group ease into a fast version of World Ball which has a much different strut and swagger than later versions. As if the 26+ minute World Ball wasn’t heady enough, the group went the distant towards the end of the set with a 21+ minute version of World Ball.

World Ball Rehearsals of the Twentieth Century (missing a player)

World Ball is my Daddy

I was born inside a normal-sized, inflatable ball.

The ball did not have to burst to free me. I quietly unfolded one segment -- the red one -- and slipped myself out when the time was right.

Like the alien in Jordan Peele's Nope, the world ball sealed itself with a reparative sliver of red plastic and left no trace of fold.

Only recently did my ancestors tell me this was no ordinary ball. 

Some have asked me what it feels like to have been carried for nine months, buoyant, in the communal leisure of the poets.

I have said it before and will say it again. 

They didn't name me Sestina for nothing.

World Ball Syncope Theory (1)

Players of World Ball may experience brief lapses of consciousness, as a result of ecstasy and soul-fusing through the rhythmic entrancement of pass and catch. It is impossible to get concussion: a symptom of a longer-lasting lapse of consciousness common to heavier ball sports like soccer, American football and rugby. 

World Ball syncope (a brief lapse of consciousness) is accompanied by a rise of adrenaline in the sternum. A prominent WB player has called this 'my sweet sweet clavicle heat', which is not anatomically accurate but the slogan has stuck among some WB communities. This rise of adrenaline has otherwise been compared to the rush when coming up on psychedelics, approaching orgasm or a great, soul-blasting sneeze.

World Ball audiences cannot help but participate after a period of watching. 

On occasion, a WB star player will switch to using forehead taps for passes. This is completely legal in the game and is a pleasant sensation for the player. It has been known to bring about World Ball Syncope a little faster. 

A feeling so similar as the forehead tap of the World Ball is to be kissed on the forehead by a lover who loves you, in some circumstance in which it is such a caress in service of grace.

During syncope, the heart slows, blood vessels dilate; the eyes are clear, the heart is full, you cannot lose. 

Professionals outside the sport will say 'most syncopal events have a benign cause'. 

If their syncopes are synced, two or more players experience what is called a mind meld.

We will have more on the mind meld later. 

Syncope can be 'treated' with flavoured soda, loving kindness, smelling salts, the application of a river crystal to the patient's t-zone. 

Some may try to play World Ball horizontally following immediate recovery. This is an understandable reflex. We call this variation of the game: 'World Ball Lying Down'. 

To be continued.

Port report

Secret investigations are resuming into the World Ball underground, worldwide.

Our reporter, Laser, prefers to go by Lass, stepped into The Mantrap -- a quoth 'old man pub' -- in a popular Scottish port town.

Through the back of The 'Trap, as it is known fondly by locals, is a hidden door leading onto a lawn. The lawn is sheltered by hedgerows bounded by lattices on which are grown many nasturtiums. The air is perfumed with their green, peppery musk.

If you can avoid the publust, this beatific Eden awaits.

Top players in the area gather to practice here. Sometimes neighbourhood kids volunteer to hold transparent tarp over the garden to block out the wind and rain. They consider this a celestial honour.

World Ball, as we know, is typically played in swimming pool environments. Enthusiasts here have struggled to find pools suitable for the intricate mind meld of the game -- especially given the volume and frequency of school swimming gala culture which clogs the municipal pool calendars. 

Due to the shortage of pool availability, WB players have taken to lawns. The game is totally different. For one, players wear thermals. There is no ragged danger slope of weed hell awaiting a ball of course. But there is no aquatic buoyancy. Some say the lawn game becomes 'too light'. To mitigate this, players may adopt a booty band of appropriate strength level in order to constrain the freedom of their legs. It is said the booty band makes for a game of special tension. It is excellent to watch. 

Look out: in future weeks, we may reveal the passcode for lawn entry in The Mantrap. Perms and suspicions apply.

Picture the scene. You know the one. God only knows World Ball. 

World Ball

World Ball has been called one of the most innovative new games, which is a full-length sequel to its award-winning, mind-bending game, Land Ball. A home version of Land Ball was released in 1988, along with ports for various home formats. These are known as home formats for Land Ball. The most popular World Ball style is the pool-style World Ball. It's commonly seen in all 50 states, but is more likely to appear in states with lower land costs. World Ball is now available in Scotland, where users are able to step into a world of discovery, exploration and adventure. Many new users enjoyed World Ball, though there is a learning curve, especially if you're not used to the controls.

On the question of difficulty

Some say World Ball represents a 'literary difficulty'. This is the statement of an intellectual chauvinist. World Ball is not a metaphor, simile. It has some proximity to metonymy, but ultimately it does not posit relation or causality on either an x or y axis.

World Ball, as has been previously established, is a quantum interruption of the open field. 

It is schlock. Beauty. Dissidence.

It is of a desirable vagueness so much to jump dimensions.

We write about it all the time. World Ball is the bouncing grammar of our spiritual lactic acid.

Feeling distant from kith and/or kin? Try a game of World Ball next family gathering and knit the clan back together again. Now, quantum entanglement isn't just for science geeks and new age weirdos, no, it's big dumb family fun! Got an uncle who just won't play ball? Not anymore you don't! Toss him the world with a mere tap and yank him back into the fold. He, like anyone, just needed a reminder of his inextricable relationality to all that is and has ever been humming and blipping in and out of this here round ball reality! Duh. It's easy AND it's fun.

Life Lessons Learned

Oh hey! What's up? How are you? Good, I hope! I'm doing good too, just chilling mostly. Just sitting around at home, reading blogs, eating leftovers, thinking about World Ball. Reading about World Ball. It's a hell of a subject, if I do say so myself. It's a pretty cool sport. I just love to get my friends together and tap the ball. Just tap it around. Finding the perfect amount of strength to tap the ball. However, it's not as easy as some people think, you know. Sometimes I'll tap too hard and the ball will fly in the air and roll down a hill or something. Sometimes one of my friends will tap to soft and it'll land in water. Get all wet. You got to get it just right and honestly that takes a lot of rehearsing. Or practice. I have noticed that by paying so much attention to the strengths of my taps, it has helped me considerably in the bedroom, you know what I mean? I mean fucking. I mean it's made me fuck better. Because of the lessons learned in World Ball, because you learn how hard or soft to tap, I now approach my love interest with the same consideration. If I fuck too hard it'll be a bad experience. If I fuck too soft, the ball will drop and we'll have to start all over.

I really really appreciate the valuable life/sex lessons that World Ball has taught me. It's improved everything, my prowess and my reputation. It's crazy, you know, anyone can play World Ball, but it takes a special person to apply lessons they learn from World Ball and put those lessons into real life situations. Like fucking. Next, I hope to take those lessons to help me become a businessman. But I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. It's like I always say, you got to take it one tap at a time.

And I always say that all the time.

Gregory's Game (part 1)

A young man named Gregory was not very good at football. Unfortunately, he also failed to reach any degree of technical prowess with the drums. It was clear after a listless summer of height growth passed that Gregory was not destined for any greatness concerning the limbs. He lacked rhythm, poetry and the gestural flair of emotional drama known to our best footballers. As a goalkeeper, he evinced signs of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder which Dr M. diagnosed as lovesickness. Love, a gorgeous disease, was reason enough for Gregory to make big changes. He had learned, via a futuretube known as the 'internet forum known as reddit', that a new game was on the horizon. It had been around since the Picts had set their eyes to a geometric synchrony in service of sun. And yet it would not take the modern form until the invention of cheap, soft consumer plastics. To play this game required a certain heartiness of lungs. And Gregory, this boy who would bellow at his love, BELLA BELLA, across the sullen hills of Cumbernauld, had lungs aplenty. After consultation with the solar oracle and the cheap malt of his father, he took the Megabus to Glasgow, paid a lifetime of saving pound coins, and flew his ass to California via the red eye.

The Future and Past of World Ball

Dream of a future world ball, a place where one lives in harmony within the confines of both nature and the mechanical world. A ball that was built in a factory, based off the original globular home in which we live. Is the World Ball the ultimate form of technology? Is it so technically advanced that it becomes simple, a playtime toy for a small child to enjoy with adult supervision? The first recorded World Ball was tapped into existence in the modern world in 1937 in Malibu, CA, the same day Albert Hoffman rode his bicycle home in Switzerland. The tappers kept the ball quite dry that day and scored a high of 72. (The current World Ball record is 230). They slept the sleep of sheep that night (sheep are known for getting great nights of sleep), with dry hands and satin sheets. Today, the World Ball has become a universal symbol for family, creation, innovation, dexterity, spiritual awareness, and joy. It is celebrated in over 14 countries. It is illegal in 8 states.
