he taught me much
like when confronted
with an element of danger
sit with your back to the wall
never toward it
use your eyes well
look over your shoulder
only if necessary
and above all
there’s a time to banter
and a time to shut up
know the difference
enjoy your life
but remain confident and aware
it’s your duty to yourself
and to those who love you
