I want you to focus that hope and level that excitement into coherent rays
That crinkle between your eyebrows that signals your doubt and your skepticism just as it does on the forehead of your mother and your Grandpa Simon. The genetic code is signaling your doubt to me right now. Why - on a day of such excitement and hope - should I be talking of nothingness and decay? Because I want you to focus that hope and levelthat excitement intocoherent rays that will strike like a laser at the targets of our discontent.
I'd like to know whether "level" is used as the verb and "into" is used as the preposition indicating the result of "level that excitement." Thank you in advance for your help.
