Additional notes:
Brought about by stitching the wall of cocoa pages for the Habitat of Psalms exhibition, 1997. (Pages in the Ginsberg collection).

Much of the text is written with the left hand, which is quite unlike the beautiful right-handed cursive script. Presumably the bad left-handed writing is also cursive.
