Butterfly I am not mystical doing what I am told to do when I want to do it any way and I didn't see a thing when I saw every bit of it and does anybody think that I care about being young never being anyplace I heard her say she had never been in a warm woods or maybe this place at the beginning of the road would she ever know the differance between good and evil even through many times they do the same thing and please question me when I move my mind: has never been questioned at all; I handle wild men so easily and there is nothing else that drifts away; darkness then daylight then a drum and she said I haven't seen it and niether have you, and don't you know if I was not self centered I would not have gone this far my way into the light

This second 'Butterfly' page mixes desire, moral uncertainty, and self-consciousness into a meditation on going one's own way into the light.

The scan-reviewed text sharpens the speaker's denial of mysticism while still making the page feel revelatory. It keeps asking whether innocence, goodness, and self-absorption can be separated once another person's presence has altered the scene.

''''Butterfly' alt -- 'I am not mystical doing what I am told to do when I want to do it any way.' She has never been 'in a warm woods.' The question of good and evil pushed: 'many times they do the same thing.' Self-centered is the path into the light.'''
