The speaker recalls serving Neal Cassidy oatmeal at Big Sur, then describes shooting stars and the confidence he brought from his Pittsburgh schooling.

The speaker recalls breakfast service, shooting stars and the confidence he brought from grammar school. He adds a religious reference in the margin, of THE / Holy / Ghost, beside the closing lines about the war of worlds and his shoulder. The note has no insertion mark, so its relation to those lines remains open.

Under the title 'Glenther', the speaker recalls walking out on 'the verands' to serve Neal Cassidy and his buddy oatmeal with canned fruit at eleven in the morning, watching stars shoot 'across the ends of the colored sea', and claiming 'serious power' because he finished grammar school in Pittsburgh; a large handwritten note in the right margin reads 'of THE Holy Ghost'.

The page moves from service to cosmic spectacle to a boast about ordinary schooling, ending on a shoulder that through 'the war of worlds' was never 'not taped'. The handwritten 'of THE Holy Ghost' beside the closing lines adds a religious register the typed text does not state, and it is unclear whether it completes the last line or comments on the whole page.
