I am warning you.
Stay back.
I will talk, but only because you said
That you'd do some etching for me.
Carve things out and fill in the blanks.
You'd recommend something to me.
And I am grateful, but I am only a client,
Aren't I?
Tell me the name and contact information of my new teacher,
And I will be on my way.
But I don't need a teacher. A master.
I don't need someone other than the ones I already have.
But it would be nice to learn more.
