the country club

it's no secret,
this thing,
this thing called dying.
and yet
we're surprised
that anyone could possibly
die.
how could they?
they were here
just yesterday, 
we shook hands
after a night
of hard drinking
and said goodbye.
he was the picture
of health.
he had his golf clubs 
with him. 
a gift from his wife.
all new for Christmas.
he just shot par on the back
nine.
had an eagle.
we made plans for Sunday.
his mistress
and mine.
