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.

'''Six-line fragment: Annie bringing a tape to the 'Decolog / I mean Boat Captain.' A slip of nouns; self-correcting mid-page.'''
