The Course of Life

  I was driving this morning, all my cares aside for a while, my mind a blank, or as close as it gets.  Then I saw a car parked in a driveway, its trunk open, a set of golf clubs nearby, with a towel draped across the top of the bag.  Just cleaned them maybe, or could be because the weather had been drizzly.  Stark reminder. From somewhere I heard the sound of sobbing.
