2. VISUAL DESCRIPTION: The image shows an open journal with handwritten text. The pages are slightly torn and have a rough, textured appearance, suggesting they are made from recycled or unconventional materials. There is a yellow sticky note attached to the top of the left page. The handwriting is in cursive and appears to be in black ink. The journal is bound with what looks like a piece of fabric or cloth, and there are some crumpled pieces of paper or fabric around the edges of the pages.

3. TRANSCRIPTION:
of touch with the
breakdown of this century
Sunday, January 31, 2021
Spring is in the air here
in Texas. First daffodil.
Just spoke with Gretchen
in NY - they are expecting
14 inches of snow.
SNL did a cold open last
night: What works in
America?
Government - Nope
Stock market - Nope
Vaccine Rollout - Nope
Social media - Nope
Tom Brady - yes
The Trump man
For this journal - load
to old. The mock + mike
of Covid-19 tragedy +
hundreds of thousands
does government +
all I'd already mentioned.
I live of the narrative,
the imagery, words,
videos.
This depiction may
develop more musically
than literally - pictoral
Melody first, lyrics maybe
or later.
439K dead in America from
