A dense, discursive meditation on the imagined future collapse of humanity through overproduction, climate, and resource exhaustion. It traces a path from industrial growth to a burned earth, sea evaporation, and the drying of humanity, ending with a lone survivor and a world’s extinction.
A hot day at a ferry dock saloon ends with a stranger inviting liars to stand, none do, and he leaves after a brief display of truth. He then tests lemon, cocoanut, and cosmetics, urging use of lemon to detect dangerous ingredients in powders and to prevent lassitude from spring.
A Townsend street wife confronts her husband at 2 am asking why his breath smells of beer. He claims the telephones cause it, saying the man at the other end was drunk, and stumbles upstairs laughing at the notion.
Aait seeks a placement and is asked for references. The girl claims five years at her last place and points to Father Tawley for more, but the interview with Father Hawley reveals the last place was the State Prison.
Two years after graduating with a grand essay on The Glorious future the noble girl drifts into disarray. She reclines on a sofa in an old dress, uncombed hair, and a hole in her stocking heel while her mother works in the kitchen, a stark contrast to her former ambitions.
A fragmentary page offers a playful note on gravity's poles versus equator, then shifts to aphorisms on benevolence, domestic economy, and social conduct. It includes quips about subscriptions, a beau and sweetheart exchange, and reflections on reputation and experience.
A disjointed fragment mocks ancestral arrogance and education, claiming men must die for their wills to matter while women’s wills hold power. It parodies the phonograph as a parrot of the mechanical age and hints at strained family ties and synthetic strings.
