This very short handwritten page reduces the poem to eyes, gear at 100 yards, death, and a nervous system that keeps coming.

The corrected distance makes the fragment feel more like a sighting or targeting note. Its force comes from compression: body, machine, and reflex remain active after the word `DEAD` has already appeared.
