This near-duplicate Knock page repeats the argument around evil, correction, the past, silver and gold, police, music, Christ, fatherhood, wounded motion, and `christinas decorations`.

Because the scan is a close duplicate of page 362, the small differences matter as evidence of revision or duplicate preservation. The handwritten additions keep the page from being only a typed monologue.

A near-duplicate scan of 'The Knock' whose small differences read as evidence of revision. The argument is the same - 'evil is a mistake, isn't it / When it skips, it can not / be corrected,' the cops who can't tell 'Mozart and Paeabl,' the same handwritten 'silver over / gold' and 'christinas decorations.' The one telling change is the line 'I am their souls' (plural here, where the companion page reads 'soul'), subtly widening the speaker's claim over 'the pictures on the wall' while he remains 'a wounded man in movement' who 'never thought / twice about doing one thing.'
