nap time

for an hour or so,
he tells me
about his golf game.

how his swing is off.
slicing
every ball into the woods.

short with the iron, sending
the little white
ball into the sand trap.

even
his once reliable putting stroke
has a kink

in the swing.

he tells me how the greens
are too fast

the approach too soft.
how the front nine
is easier

than the back.
i need a new set of clubs,
and maybe i shouldn't drink
as much when i golf,

then he taps
me on my knee

and says, hey, aren't you
listening,  wake up.
