The image has a light pastel purple background with a pastel brown vertical line dividing it. The poem reads:"thing and one thing only wince at recording; and sullied her whole life. was a single kiss on the interesting boy.- Tell me, how deep in the mud must a woman walk before a man walk in the mud - he wants her the dephts. The woman the shallows, and over her ankles. - away with daintiness, - this woman, with her feet and body she had what she had desire of pieces of herself and what an instruction process! - a humument or two." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
