Smoking Illegally

Smoke rolls around the tennis court, like there's some sort of fire. The court smells like a skunk, like freshly taken road kill. My opponent smokes a joint, offering me a toke. I pass, afraid of the effect that it may have on my game. I'm also more than a little concerned about the illegality of smoking marijuana. I don't want to be arrested on the tennis court. I'm not even smoking and I'm still paranoid. Getting stoned before playing tennis just doesn't work for me. Sure, maybe when I was younger. A few years back, I smoked before doing just about everything. My opponent doesn't have these problems. He doesn't seem to have any problems at all, except being unable to open his glassy, red eyes.
