AI Interpretation
This short fragment keeps the body in motion while language stumbles over what to call the act.
The page feels like a draft note caught before revision. Its interest lies in that unfinishedness: the speaker is already performing the gesture, while the sentence is still trying to decide how the gesture should be named as `a Jag`.
A four-line handwritten fragment, 'WAVing my hand / Around with / what now is / CAlEd a Jag'. The gesture is in motion while the language gropes for its name, a hand-wave that 'now is / CAlEd a Jag'. The reviewer notes a struck word after 'what' omitted from the intended reading, so the fragment preserves the act mid-revision. Source capitalization and spelling 'CAlEd' kept as written.
