       < 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  
  a 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 moos 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 >.
