Jeans and skirt, possibly panties When they drop Sometimes I let them lay At times they are folded My brau is filled with my nipples I feel him through the cloth Sometimes I drop it, with him Too Sometimes I keep it I hAPPEN to know the poet ANd HE will NOT go gently into that good night with ThE sloth I SEE

The speaker describes dropped or folded clothes, touch through cloth and knowing a poet who will not go gently into that good night. Handwritten fragments add with ThE sloth and I SEE.

The speaker mixes bodily closeness with a claim about a poet. The handwriting leaves the attachment of the right-margin fragments and a letter in hAPPEN uncertain, so the transcript keeps those uncertainties visible.

The page says 'Jeans and skirt, possibly panties / When they drop', 'I feel him through the cloth', 'Sometimes I drop it, / with him Too', and the revised 'I hAPPEN to know the poet / ANd HE will NOT go gently / into that good night', with separate fragments 'with ThE sloth' and 'I SEE'.

Intimate details give way to an echo of a famous poem's line, revised by hand into a claim about the poet. Some handwritten letters and the placement of the margin fragments remain uncertain.
