I laughed too. I said, I just can't play it cause it isn't good. Is there a bird called a pigeon? They fly polite, I haven't got that home behind me.

This page moves through refusal, class insult, Mexico in 1960, Rocky's arrival, and the image of the great hobo Sibby by the sea.

The corrected reading gives the fragment a firmer scene: Mexico, a beach, a plane, Rocky coming down, and Sibby positioned against collared men who honk and cannot drink. It still flickers, but the motion now gathers around travel, beauty, and rough social comedy rather than the older misread debris.
