The sheet reads rather like writing on a page, except with white lettering on a black background. The 'words', however, are reduced to even squiggles in the shapes of 'm' and 'n'. Lines alternatively leave a narrow margin on the left and then are indented. This pattern is repeated, although more loosely, as the righthand margin. Some lines have been struck through or excised and several have been boxed in, giving the impression of some type of editing process in progress.
