Speaking of the Devil He says I don't want to be Not Concious I didn't think there would be alot of differance in the stars I knew that rocks made form beneath the deep blue sea And were all the same for hand picking along a thousand river beads No judgement in how far you fall Slipping into what is the matter of feet, against the fathoms, that do dare you to matter at all I never cared about Europe, and they don't drink in the Middle East I went and hung a long line with the North Star

Speaking of the Devil joins a handwritten meditation on not wanting to be 'Not Concious' with stars, deep-sea rocks, river beads, falling, Europe, the Middle East, and the North Star.

The page treats consciousness and geography as unstable measures. The handwritten opening frames the typed body as a question about whether mattering can survive depth and distance.

''''Speaking Of the Devil' (with handwritten subtitle). No judgment in how far you fall. 'I never cared about Europe, and they don't drink in the Middle East.' The speaker hangs a long line with the North Star.'''
