establishment
there she goes again the little old lady hair falling out in front there she goes again the little old lady head bowed down eyes fixed ascant footstep ahead there she goes again the little old lady muttering to herself agonizing each decision to cross or not to cross to turn or not to turn no to this and nix on that there she goes the little old lady tottering home again the white house with the iron fence

This poem also appears in the steno notebook labeled “The Shadow Box”.
There are only minor changes, with no line breaks after the occurences of “the little old lady”, or “the white house”. Rather than line breaks with indentation, he places the second half of these phrases on the same line following extra space.
