This version of the poem leans harder into performance and rhetoric, balancing coin, artery, dream, chalk, and music against a sense of threat and placelessness.
The shank-and-drink insertion, the handwritten artery and dream revisions, and the source phrase `needless at nightfull` make the page feel more jagged and submerged. The shortened `didn't have A PLACE` line sharpens its sense of dislocation without the struck reference to a city.

A second 'Accumulation' that leans harder into rhetoric and dislocation. 'The careful hands of care offened the wicked / Not carelessly about what the deed has stuck to' reworks the opening, and a handwritten revision puts the star 'shone' over a 'shrine, just a shank in the drink'. The imagery thickens with urban and bodily figures: 'This penny on the corner is stil a coin', 'There is the laso around artery,' 'There Is the noose on the dream', each line rebuilt by hand from a struck 'What is ... of'. The legal-spiritual menace returns -- 'A soul needless at nightfull / No knees necessary on the red line of rendition' -- and the placelessness line is cut down: the typed 'had a place in any city' is struck and the handwritten 'didn't have A PLACE' ends it, 'As if being lost didn't have A PLACE.' Handwritten 'chalk' and 'squeeks' respell the typed 'chawk' and 'sqeeks', and the poem keeps the music-and-death coupling, 'Any string you can play / Any sound of music you might hear / This is where death lives to concur.' Source spellings 'offened,' 'stil,' 'laso,' 'nightfull,' 'Abhoroxent,' 'silencior,' and 'squeeks' are kept as written; the page's double-struck n-to-m ghosting is not carried into the text.
