TEACH
Can you teach writing ?

Can you teach breathing ?

You can teach better breathing
To someone who breathes already
Who follows instinctively
The in and out of breath

You can teach the mechanics to the scholar
The working of the diaphragm
The currents of electricity
Along invisible nerves

But the two are not the same

All the lectures you can give
Animates not the corpse

All the tricks to make better
Work not on empty air                       



David McLauchlan
