PUNCHING A JAWS
I learned a lot about the dangers around me by listening to songs and watching movies. I learned to stay away from the Copa Cabana because of the rampant gunplay there. I learned I’d need to stay out of season in the sun because once you see birds singing in the sky, you’re done for!
Jaws messed me up too. And I didn’t even see that movie! My brothers told me about it.
Luckily, all those stories came with solutions built in. Like, If you’re going to sail the Edmund Fitzgerald, leave a little early next time. Or check the weather repots.
And if your name is Billy, don’t be a hero. It’s right there in the lyrics, man!
