Time I know I am dead Relax the stone Triamph and sorry The wish went way past Challenge still stays Not to be judged Not to make judgement It is gone The possibility has left The star is still our friend A long way away from what we have thought And created As one big gang Lucky with dust that we still can think Still, Lost

The page titled 'Time' speaks from a posthumous vantage: death, stone, judgment, vanished possibility, the distant star, collective creation, and the handwritten final state of being still lost.

Including the handwritten additions changes the ending. The page no longer closes only on thought; it ends with a physical residue, dust, and a short handwritten admission of being lost.

'Time' speaks from past the grave: 'I know I am dead / Relax the stone.' It sets down judgment in both directions -- 'Not to be judged / Not to make judgement' -- as possibility departs ('It is gone / The possibility has left'). The distant 'star is still our friend, / A long way away from what / we have thought / And created / As one big gang,' and humanity is 'Lucky with dust / that we still can think.' The handwritten close drops to bare residue: 'Still, / Lost.'
