grammar school ~ english literature
‘read them out loud’ he said
we called him ‘Gunner’
he taught us how to swear ‘properly’
the intonations on the word ‘bastard’
‘bãstārd’ being the insult
‘bástard’ the illegitimate
he said
read Tennyson’s ‘break, break, break’
the tears
shared between the poem and
dear ‘Gunner’
