By Jack Joseph Smith

One second of life is as good as life itself Glory does not spread over years And it is not necessary for others to see the same sight as you However never imagine that wonder and deliverance are not the same - A warrior knows amusement only in death, for himself and for the one he is fighting A man who thinks is amused When not only fighting but nothing happens at all This for outlaws and religous people could be called the upper hand There the mistake is made For it is no hand at all From foot to toe I find this as the face I fight for

The page argues that one second can equal life itself, then contrasts glory, sight, wonder, deliverance, amusement, fighting, outlaws, religous people, and the false upper hand.

The corrected transcript strengthens the philosophical arc. Its rejection of the upper hand depends on embodied movement from foot to toe rather than heroic mastery.

One second of life is as good as life itself. Glory does not spread over years. Wonder and deliverance are the same. A warrior knows amusement only in death — for himself and for the one he is fighting. A man who thinks is amused when not only fighting but nothing happens at all. For outlaws and religious people this could be called the upper hand — but it is no hand at all. From foot to toe I find this as the face I fight for.
