The speaker remembers Seattle, says shock treatments took away other memories, and describes Gibby's proud walk on Pennsylvania's brick streets.
A refusal to visit someone in prison precedes Gibby's questions and a recalled arm movement. The narrator describes a woman's raised heel, Gibby's recognition of her and a cab moving past lights at night. Unread handwriting leaves the connections between these fragments open.

A speaker in quotation marks says 'I don't remember a damn thing. / I remember Seattle' and that 'the shock treatments / took away everything, but / the worlds fair', while 'the Gibby's walk is proud' on streets that 'are brick in / Pennsylvania'. After a gap the voice adds 'No I didn't go to see / in prison', with the name before it struck out; the narration recalls Gibby as a child, then a woman who 'took her heel up / when he moved through / the Gibby's legs.', 'Gibby knew her, or one like / her.', and a closing image: 'The cab was on its way.' and 'The lights. No / people.'
Memory is the subject here: a single bright exception survives what the treatments erased, and the page itself carries gaps, a struck name and a few unread words. Short quoted statements alternate with plain narration about Gibby, and the page ends on an empty night street. The closing 'or one like / her' leaves recognition uncertain in the same way.
