Because your life is short I thought you should know about lawn bowling and polite clapping by women in summer dresses and white gloves and men in white shirts with club ties and black trousers who we called the other and who stood on utter green grass that day and played the game with dignity in summer’s late perfect light, and all was well, all was very well the day before we went to war and killed them all. I thought you should know because your life is so short.

I Thought You Should Know
Because your life is short I thought you should know about lawn bowling and polite clapping by women in summer dresses and white gloves and men in white shirts with club ties and black trousers who we called the other and who stood on utter green grass that day and played the game with dignity in summer’s late perfect light, and all was well, all was very well the day before we went to war and killed them all. I thought you should know because your life is so short.
