This page works like a rough chant, repeating a taunting portrait of the 'slow moving' figure until the refrain becomes its own rhythm.
The page matters less for narrative than for cadence. The repeated 'Da, dA, dA' and the stage direction 'Louder' make it feel half lyric, half performance note, while the repeated MadMAN refrain turns the page into a chant rather than a scene.

A handwritten lyric, 'A song in Prankster's Brain', built from three swelling verses of 'Your a slow moving MADMAN / stoned' punctuated by drum-syllables 'DA, dA, dA' and the rising cue '(Louder)', each pass adding another beat-line so the chant accelerates. The page is pure cadence rather than narrative - a self-taunting interior refrain that ruptures the surrounding prose, with the Wurlitzer stationery header rightly excluded.
