A cab-fare exchange precedes a report of violence and remarks about Gibby's conduct. A movie writer tells him he looks like shit, and a quoted speaker says the climate he inhabits is for older people.

The speakers answer questions with deflections. Gibby faces pain in a broken passage about a shoe that walks no more. Unread handwriting prevents reconstructing the lower account.

A cab exchange closes with 'cab, you go to."', then 'The other / man shit him three times.' and 'So Gibby fused to go through / the pain of saying through / a shoe you fill walks / no more.' When 'Some body asked Gibby / what he was doing', the answer is 'These days: "What kind / of question is that."'; later a movie writer tells Gibby he looks like 'shit."', a quotation says 'The climate I'm in is for / older people.', and near the foot 'He had done that before,'.

The page moves through short exchanges of talk, each answered with deflection rather than explanation, and a flat report of violence sits among them without comment. The handwriting and broken quotation keep the voice rough and immediate. Several lower words stay unread, so the page reads best as a run of overheard remarks.
