7 DowN WE WILL BE CALLED I ain't had no more trouble with any kind a' livestock then' I had with pigs. One time we was attempt'en to get a load off the God Damned wagon and this pig just wouldn't take to mov'in. Climed I over the side, came up behind thee son-of-a-bitch, and took an jammed that tail right up it's ass. Do ya think there was a movement? Hell no. So I goes a' back over dat railing - And comes back round to the front of the son a bitch with an iron bar just picked up and beat that pig over the snout until it squealed so bad I got fraid of losing my profit. Sometimes a man's must got to sit things out I guess, even it's for a hog... LOME LAND ANARCHIST Tall, dead set grain hauler, owner of your own truck, knower of great gears, beliver in axel balances; feeler of the big wheel, Great field burner, turner of gold horizon into black ground. Harvested field fire makes nucular cloud, while children move under the smoke of an ancient rite, free for sight spinning body twirls of laughter, and removed from the modern dance of death. Self made four wheel drive night light hunter, silent arrow, or low powered rifle will keep whiskey breath from kissing rabits in the ditch tonight. thE REst is NAmEs thE good Night

AI Interpretation

GPT

A dialect account of moving a pig precedes LOME LAND ANARCHIST and portraits of a grain hauler, field burner and hunter. Separate handwritten notes concern a name or names and a good night.

The speaker connects rural work with animals, smoke and hunting. The title occurs within the page rather than above the monologue. The marginal notes' attachment remains provisional, and no portrait establishes a named real person's biography.

A typed page under the handwritten '7 DowN' and 'WE WILL BE CALLED': the pig monologue in dialect, then 'LOME LAND ANARCHIST' with prose portraits of the grain hauler, field burner and night hunter, and large handwritten notes 'thE REst / is NAmEs' and 'thE good / Night'.

This draft gathers the anarchist material into one sheet; the handwritten notes read like a working title and a sign-off, but their attachment stays provisional.
