stretched out up there in a nap against the glowing sky
and i remember my teachers
but who was more important to me all this time

someday
but I would feel like Kevin Costner in Tin Cup
and this may be odd
but it is the one golf movie i haven't seen

with Chevy Chase bumbling around

i miss the old ways of virtue
and i have to say
