THE GEAR at 100 yards

KEEPS on coming

AI Interpretation
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.
A four-line nerve fragment: the eyes, the gear at two yards, the body dead and the nervous system still coming — a shorthand for residual motion after a kill.
