'Top Of The Line' compresses profanity, beginnings and endings, and the strange pleasure of imagining one's own young death.

The page feels like a fragment of a larger meditation, but its narrowness gives it force. It treats the crude phrase about horses as a way into fatal self-imagination rather than simple insult.

'''Another opening of 'Top Of The Line' -- middle versus beginning-and-ending, with 'young death' quoted back to the speaker as an honest strangeness. Page trails off at 'we necerraly think that way.''''
