The speaker imagines an entire last thought while floating in water, describes Sunday desire and private business, and questions toughness in North America. Handwritten additions mention a fence, breathing a lake, a broken stem, colors, and drifting Lillys.

The writer places additions above and beside the typed poem. The lake passage and drifting Lillys remain readable fragments with uncertain attachment; the page does not fix a finished sequence for them.

A handwritten opening, 'A ActoAlly POLE SOUK ANd SET / ANd crossEd A FENCE LAst WEEK', leads into typed rows such as 'The las thought you have, perhaps, / will be the one that is entire', 'I just want to make love on a Sunday' and 'Silence, rise up; we are the ancester', with revisions 'BLACK & BrowN', 'whitE s' and a margin block 'I TriEd / To / BREATH / THE LAKE / TO SUCH IT / UP / AS A / BROKEN / STEM' and 'drifting Lillys'.

The page layers a sensual typed poem with handwritten additions about color, praise and breath. The margin block and the fragments are kept separate because their insertion points are not marked, so the page reads as a draft rather than a settled text.
