The page gathers a Watts Tower notebook fragment, where junkyard sculpture, Los Angeles, hospital air, cigarette smoke, oxygen, and the body meet in a blunt urban scene.
It reads like a draft surface rather than a polished poem. The lower Dick Gregory and schedule notes reinforce the notebook quality, while the main fragment makes sculpture, city life, and bodily cost share the same space.
Watts Towers / L.A. hospital-exit sketch - hopefully the junkyard will produce a sculpture, Los Angeles spirs-um, waiting out of the building for fired air, cigarette smoke breath against the wall, man in robes passes pushing oxygen on a cart, this is the price you pay for it beside. Brief city-body fragment.
