Think of it as a challenge,
she said
She was talking about a climbing wall
it looked like Everest to me
Oh, anybody can do it
her again, describing a difficult ski course
Marnie loved tackling new things and
wanted her friends to try them as well
You won't know if you don't give it a shot,
she would say, when faced with our skepticism
So,
when I found out how she died
I tried to imagine what hurdle she had met and found
insurmountable
I also took it to mean that
in the end, no one is really fearless
