                                    < a wonderful life >

                    Solid iron primitive steel
                    before they got to you
                    so refined
                    you
                    your face
                    you using it as a brush, a pencil
                    a stuttering picture movie manipulated freeze frame
                    solid iron
                    never a thought of fragile before you broke
                    or me or it or they
                    NOT fragile
                    you
                    you standing there
                    NEVER fragile
                    just a few moments before this                    
                    a solid iron primitive steel
                    before they got to you
                    so refined there
                    you
                    your face
                    you using it as a brush
                    a pencil, a pen, a stylus of moods manic
                    but never you
                    never you as freeze frames
                    as manipulated frames slow motion solid iron
                    never a thought of fragile before you broke
                    before it broke
                    breakable
                    before i broke
                    me not YOU
                    iron primitive steel
                    just you
                    just a few
                    just a few moments before this
                    NOT fragile
                    solid iron before they got to you
                    so refined
                    standing
                    standing there
                    you
                    your face
                    you using it as a brush
                    a brush painting: < a wonderful life >.
