Beat me! Beat me! Beat me!
Reduce the excess water right out of me!
Wring it out of me like a dishrag cat;
Knock me down to my essential elements:
Base minerals for my sinful nature
Salt for my own preservation
Carbon for the graphite in my pencil
Carbon (because we are all carbon deep down)
Carbon to be pounded by the days, molded by those who came before,
Carbonera for that amore de vita, holy masochism
Carbon to be beaten into a crystal diamond toughness
Hope springs eternal, with my tongue in my cheek!
