Page 67

The page begins as a reflection on leaving and entering difficulty, then hardens into a handwritten warning about power and the violence of self-importance.

The wilderness metaphor first sounds philosophical, almost patient, but the handwritten close gives it a social target. Those with power are accused of killing what they know and then treating themselves as the only rightful survivors. The struck deletion before a similar difficulty makes the typed section feel revised toward certainty, while the handwritten ending turns that private struggle outward into accusation.

The typed half meditates on difficulty in both directions -- 'Working your way out of the wilderness / Is hard', and 'Working your way into it; / definately / is / a similar difficulty' -- noting that as 'Things pass', 'servarity has no way of knowing / what each let go by'. The handwritten close turns outward into accusation: 'Most with power / Kill what they know' and 'appear to themselves / As the only ONES that / should be LEFT', the capitals giving the charge its edge.
