It's cause they are green. When did alley balls turn green? They were always black when I was bowling. Dingy black, and scuffed and dinged up, so you had no idea how or why they would roll the way they did, even if you laid them down in the same spot in the same way every time.
It was like slot-machine bowling - you never knew if you would break 200, or not even get a spare for the game. And the black dingy balls were the key to your random bowling experience, and it was fun.

I think it's a metaphor for the stages of separation. Especially in the relationship sense...
either way there's something very inviting about the picture. Nice shot.

When did they turn green? Green isn't fun.
