Rail
The verandah at the golf club has an expansive view over the first tee
and fairway. When a twosome showed up, each in a separate golf cart,
I strolled over to object. “Carbon footprint! Why not share?”
One attacked me with his driver, but missed. The other stepped between.
“You mustn’t be offended. He’s a Republican and hates ideas.” We nudged him
to a bench and he began to calm down, but pointed to his head and moaned.
Other fellow removed the hat and unzipped to uncover a rail running front to rear, enameled with the letters B U S H.
“Murderer!” I spat, but the victim just smiled inanely, with the pressure
relieved.
“And how can we be sure Dems won’t find another?” the other questioned,
fanning him with a towel.
“We can’t.”
