Two years of high school Latin, and what stuck was one verb. Carpe. Seize. The poets attached it to the day, which is beautiful but vague. What does seizing a Tuesday even involve? So I made the amendment my own body could understand: seize the iron. The iron is specific. The iron is right there on the rack, weighing exactly what it claims, which is more honesty than most days offer. My Latin teacher would object to the grammar of my life and approve the vocabulary. Dead language, living effort, one rep at a time. It's all the same discipline.

Printed on the Comfort Colors 1717, a garment-dyed heavyweight with that broken-in feel from day one.
