This 'Native Sons' fragment links sons of God to modest thoughts about space, water, and dirt, then turns toward song as a force that would change the singer.

The page feels like a bridge between the cosmic 'Native Sons' material and the handwritten song lyric on the previous page. Its unfinished ending, 'You wad,' keeps the relational thought suspended, which suits the draft-like movement from theology and elements into address.

A short, unfinished 'Native Sons' fragment that pivots the prior page's title into 'Sons of God.' and pares the cosmic scale down to 'Modest thoughts for space, water and dirt'. Its repeated conditional - 'If I sang a song to you / I would be different / I think that is true' - frames song as something that would change the singer, then breaks off mid-line on 'You wad'. The truncation is part of the evidence: the page is a draft caught in the act of address, left deliberately open rather than resolved.
