golf

last night we gathered to play

all ten of us

friends

but, the truth of the matter

we get together

to share

smiles

laughs

stories

politics

heart beats

they look like they mean business

what happens here amounts to

play

fun

jokes

silliness
respite

"what have we learned"

"it's all about the people"

butt-head

 king
it doesn't really matter

what we learn...

 it really is

all about the people

and these people

have shared

life paths

many long years
