This page reads as a self-questioning return fragment, opening with trains and Johnny Cash before moving through cocktails, red wine, fame, money in entertainment, and a damaged recollection of Paul.
The added handwritten opening gives the page a more American return-myth atmosphere before the typed body turns toward alcohol, middle age, and the business of entertainment. Hollywood appears not as glamour but as a place where inner damage might be mistaken for visibility. Surrounding marginal drafts are documented but omitted where their insertion points are not stable.

A return fragment, 'WHEN THE TRAINS BROUGHT ME BACK / with Johnny Cash,' deciding to come 'back / after living past the death date of Jesus.' The speaker confesses he 'had seen through my failure with cocktails' and 'had weakened for the camera, because Hollywood was the place where the world might see my inner nuisance of fame' - vanity named plainly - while Paul, by contrast, 'had a fortress of stone ... covered with ivy.' The page breaks off mid-realization at 'When I view Paul and a family up on a Hill, / I realize', so the conclusion is deliberately withheld. The contrast of the narrator's chased fame against Paul's rooted, family-anchored stillness is the page's force. This reading stays with the stable typed body; surrounding handwritten revisions and the page's cut-off ending remain unresolved per the scan metadata.
