These are things that I know:
how to bow and to caw at the shrillest
of crows 'til he flies
from my sight,
how to nod at a lizard enclosed
'til he charges the wall,
how to outguard the dog and bedevil
the cock 'til he thinks I've got spurs
much more sharp than his own.
These are good things to know.
Quite a lot can be gained
by outfeinting a snake in a cage
or a crow on the line, by appearing
as tall as a bear and as fierce as a lion.
