This page attacks consumer performance and class posturing while treating Pittsburgh itself as a haunted market of language, theatre, and survival.

The market here is not just economic; it is theatrical and moral. Buying, pretending to be rich or poor, and speaking to oneself all blur together, while the poem keeps returning to creatures, mist, and old men as if the city has an older life beneath commerce. `Pittsburgh is too European / to die outright` gives the page its sharpest turn, turning local observation into historical temperament.

Heavy OCR damage on a piece called `The New. WheeZ` — a crowd scene of marketing and language, `Pittsburgh is too European / to die outright in`, and `redemption watches / Karma grabbing at its species`. The sociology-of-a-city register in raw form.
