About the Course
No birdies, no eagles
no long drives
I slink off the course
after the ninth
On the terrace
outside the clubhouse
college tournament players
mill around.
I browse the tables
brimming
with golf swag.
A voice calls out
a young man approaches.
Remember me?
I took your class last year.
We read five books that semester.
You turned me into a reader.
I went on to read
David Copperfield.
I just had to tell you.
I roll my clubs to the car
chuckle to myself.
Did I just get a hole in one?
