G - Lesotho, and what we did not want to know

We sat behind Mr. Taylor
at the potter's wheel
showing us:

1. how to grip the clay, so that it did not slip between fingers
2. how to manipulate the wheel, stop it from swerving out of
control
3. how to dip fingers in water and smooth roughened edges
4. how to make the perfect vase

Leaning forward,
he showed more
than he intended

as a class full of girls
blushed

and looked away.
