| 29. Laughing Blue Steel |
| TWO fishes swimming in the sea, | |
| Two birds flying in the air, | |
| Two chisels on an anvil—maybe. | |
| Beaten, hammered, laughing blue steel to each other—maybe. | |
| Sure I would rather be a chisel with you than a fish. | 5 |
| Sure I would rather be a chisel with you than a bird. | |
| Take these two chisel-pals, O God. | |
| Take ‘em and beat ‘em, hammer ‘em, hear ‘em laugh. |
