Lesson showed how to chat with death. We brought
No brass fortissimo, among our talents,
To holler down the lions in this air.”

He could find water with a hazel prong—
Which showed how much good school had ever done him.”

And showed him, through a manhole in the floor,
The water in desperate straits like frantic fish,
Salmon and sturgeon, lashing with their tails.”
