let's play 18 today

when i'm playing golf, 

she says,

i don't think

about the world,

the news,

the whole catastrophe

of war

and famine,

crime and disease.

i think

about the bunker up

ahead,

the sand trap and

which iron to use.

i can get a birdie

if i reach the green

in three, she believes.

let's play 18 today, okay.
