This tiny fragment compresses the Megan sequence into year, place, jungle, South Seas, and an unresolved demand to answer for what was said.

The verified source spelling `Piittsburgh` and lowercase `jungle` keep the fragment's rough typed surface intact. Its abruptness makes it feel like an evidence tag pulled from a larger argument.

'''Six-line boiled-down Megan/Young Life: 'Ugly nineteen fifty seven / Piittsburgh, Pennsylvania / Central America jungle / The wonderful South Seas. / She said the same thing / So go and answer for that.' The author has reduced the poem to a stacked accusation.'''
