AI Interpretation
The speaker watches water moving toward a city, changing canyons and the water's edge, and hopes a canyon sheer will not falll. A statement about making brass has handwritten IRON beside it; the speaker also mentions a lizzard and shooing good and evil.
The speaker places changing water and canyon walls beside a claim about metal-making. IRON has no clear replacement mark, and the damaged ,lack remains uncertain. The page does not locate the canyon or establish a scientific explanation.
The page says 'We are the fools tramping on the trianglw', 'I see water sneeking away to the city', 'We down in our river roeks / are ,lack and white', that 'alot of cooer' with handwritten 'IRON' 'and a little bit of tin / makes brass for an elivator', and ends 'The water's edge has changed'.
Water, rock and metal describe a landscape being drained and changed. The damaged ',lack' and the separate 'IRON' are kept as they appear, and the speaker's 'I see good and and evil I shooo them' keeps its doubled word.
