This fragment makes the junkyard and the named place feel like coordinates in a private map of masculine memory.

Even as a short page, it suggests the poem is assembling identity out of steel, geography, and local knowledge. The place-name feels like a pin driven into the memory.

A brief 'Fast Cars' fragment, only three lines: 'Each guy had a way, of searching through junkyards / A piece of steel, and some small place for tin too,' closing on the lone handwritten place-name annotation 'LEVENWORTH' stranded mid-page. It reads as another false start or offcut of the junkyard-and-geography material worked on the surrounding pages, the place-name dropped like a pin into the memory before the poem develops. This reading remains provisional because the page transcript is a partial, mixed-quality fragment and the central word is an unresolved handwritten annotation rather than completed verse.
