What The beggar shows each man is the manner in which he then exists. The potion is strong Loss is after that time - the story of it. The return out and through - the splinters in the hand - the knife in the back - the neck noose - the strait jacket - the guillotining sound - the lush damp greed - the broken foot - the dancing knee ... all are beyond the beggar and trembling quick. But in these fragments - stars against a blackboard - is only The faintest movement. The dream give itself to sense. Ice to water. What then: The redemption of the fragments. Each brings drink: the evaporates.

The speaker considers a beggar's relation to each man, then lists bodily injury, restraint, greed and trembling. The ending asks about redeeming fragments and links them with drinking and evaporation.

The writer joins social encounter with fractured bodily sensations. The restored fragments changes the former emphasis on judgments; the provisional potion does not support a firm claim about strength of position. The final evaporates syntax remains unresolved.

A handwritten meditation: 'What The beggar shows each man is the / manner in which he then exists.', 'The potion is strong', a dash-linked list from 'the splinters / in the hand' and 'the knife in the back' to 'the dancing knee', and 'What then: The redemption of the / fragments.'

The page lists images of harm and asks what can redeem the fragments; story and Ice are provisional readings.
