Amen Corner


Snow and then rain and then fog

and then wind and then snow and then rain

and water in your shoes

and your shoes coming off

in the sucking mud,

and you wish you were in Georgia,

but you have a big coat

and firewood enough,

and isn't it all lovely

with no one around,

just you and your selective memory

with the jays calling in the mist

and the ground showing through,

with the Bucs on a tear

and the Masters about to start and, oh,

can't you smell the azaleas so sweet

as you make the turn and head home

on your own little winning streak?
