A brief handwritten instruction asks someone to give him a tape to the Decolog before correcting toward a boat-captain phrase.

The page reads like message-fragment rather than finished poem. Its value is in the self-correction and the notebook quality of the language, where a practical instruction slides into a strange title-like phrase.

A scrappy six-line note that reads like a jotted instruction: 'Give him / a tape to the / Decolog', then the self-correcting 'I mean Boat / Otas, captain'. The interest is in the audible misfire - one noun swapped for another and caught mid-thought - which gives the fragment its notebook immediacy rather than any finished sense. This reading remains provisional because the page is a rotated handwritten note in the 'mixed' quality band, with the closing line ('Otas, captain') only partially legible.
