Similarly:

THE DEATHS
MUCH THINKING
ABOUT THE TRIUMPH

Etc.
MUCH THINKING ABOUT THE INEVITABILITY OF DECAY, AND

IN WAKE OF
LOSS, desperate attempt to hold things together
CARELESSNESS BORN OF HOPELESSNESS
Sometime-failure to use condoms
CONSTANT CONTACT W/ GRADE SCHOOL FRIENDS FREQUENT CARNAL CONTACT WITH GRADE SCHOOL FRIENDS DUE TO
environmental factors in upbringing, innate sense that ideas of “ community ” are silly and soft

Note: The above is actually part of a much larger chart, 18 ” X 24 ” (though not to scale), which maps out the entire book, mostly in type too small to read.
