AI Interpretation
The speaker describes lost time, exclusion and the effort to refrain from killing, then asks about awareness and separation.
The speaker puts a rose garden beside brokers and a steeple beside a spinning crown. At the close, the speaker asks for another comma and says it separates. The writer adds Ed and was above the canceled line, repeating the typed margin revision Casted was your salt / that slightly whispered.
Under the handwritten title 'the Behavor of Jett', typed loose lines move from 'The entire time of time is lost' through salt 'that slightly whispered', 'pine and eucaluptus' and a crown that 'spins round / Where it is eyerybody's ring'. It ends by asking for 'another em comma' because 'It seperates'.
The page reads as a collage of social and moral fragments, naming 'The hatred and exclusion, the need and the ner do well' and the restraint of 'we will not kill'. Its closing turn makes punctuation the subject, as if a comma's pause were the one reliable way to hold things apart. The typed draft keeps its revision visible in the struck and retyped salt line.
