The page revisits the snapped-thread motif but pushes it into a cowboy register of return, hurt, and disappearance.

The repetition from the earlier page makes this feel like variation rather than simple continuation. Cowboys and hurt give the lyric a more public, masculine edge while keeping the same anxiety about imagination failing.

This page re-opens with the snapped-thread line of page 12 - 'During the first snap of your ladies thread / Your immagination did not disappear' - then turns it into a cowboy stance: 'We are cowboys don't you see walking away / At the end coming back to hurt you.' The speaker claims the durability of stone in 'I am a stream, and I have seen how smooth, / the rocks have been, clean, never shattered by time,' and closes on class defiance - 'We don' kiss awhite man's ass; / get it, that's what it is albought?; / or rather shpujd be' - with 'immagination,' 'beay,' 'awhite,' 'albought,' and 'shpujd' kept as written.
