GOLF ON THE MOON

A painting and poem by Gina-Maria Garcia

To be good at golf, you must be aware
Of your feet, your stance, and the direction of the air.

But golf on the moon is a totally different thing
Your grip isn't the focus, or even the swing.

It's the green in the distance, an object so small
It's the Earth as we know it, the size of a golf ball.

Golf on the moon requires a special expertise
One of love, patience, and a little world peace.

To be good at golf, you must be aware
That there's more to the universe beyond the Earth's glare.
