Page 6

This fragment links family and money through a repeated refrain, as if both the mother and economic hunger are things the speaker only knows secondhand.

Because the page is so spare, its power comes from repetition. 'or so I heard' makes each statement feel reported rather than owned, which gives the fragment a tone of distance, rumor, or inherited knowledge.

A two-beat fragment pairs 'The mother' with 'Economic GREED', each tagged 'or so I heard', so family and money arrive only as secondhand rumor. This reading remains provisional because the page transcript is OCR-uncertain.
