and I said no, to the burning bush I can not come to you, so brilliantly beconed in the early nightness When after too much time My first fifth of wine When in other words, it wasn't lousy at all Standing in the Earth, knowing real fear spending? That actually was limiting And so slightly spreading iN A self of silver when the it of he stood, Not given so much as there, upon this soil I tilled And knew, And waited, stood And was MAN in Movement, waited for me I could Not tell the differ- ANCE GETWEEN MOZART AND PHEAUL

This companion page keeps the burning-bush refusal, then expands through a handwritten meditation on limitation, silver selfhood, soil, movement, and the inability to distinguish Mozart from PHEAUL.

Compared with the previous page, this one feels more crowded and unstable because the typed refusal is surrounded by a second handwritten movement. The added passage turns fear into questions of spending, limitation, silver selfhood, soil, waiting, and becoming MAN in Movement. The final Mozart/PHEAUL comparison still matters because it turns spiritual and aesthetic judgment into the same troubled act of hearing.

A second take on the burning-bush page. The refusal stays, but here it ends in cultural confusion rather than memory — the speaker cannot tell the difference between Mozart and PHEAUL. Fear has collapsed the categories that were supposed to hold culture apart from noise.
