she explores dignity’s
dimensions
bends metal
with her mind
this motivational surge
compelled by conviction
not truth
is interrupted by “DROID” alerts
she ponders the plodding
accuracy of artisans
[if the railing turns a corner
inaccurate measurements
can occur]
so many studs to consider
she finally sees the difference
between brain machinations
and anvil
parallel fires
as she descends
into her sanctuary
full of unread Taoist tomes
decades of paper to shred
