Additional notes:
Colophon: pages rescued from time and trash. This page = recycled computer paper from the Tech 'squares' neatly duck taped bundles as large as my dining room table. One parcel enough for many books or huge heavy paper pulp pieces.

Most of the pages in this book were made from computer paper. Pages laminating thread are from rag fibre pulp or a mixture of rag and computer pulp (Starkey + Room provided great rag pulp for me) and vine leaf pages date from the 1980x and were left over from the Last Supper books now in Jack Ginsberg's collection. Note pages and typed poems come from later series some realized other not attempted. [Torn cursive pages].

Melancholy cursive page dated 3/10/2021 added: concerning death, old age, disease etc.
