Lehrer indicates that Versations is made up of sounds in a space that can have personal meaning to the reader, or can be used as a score or script for a performance of characters listed at the top of each page. "Time moves from top to bottom. The performance progresses one page at a time. Notations that occur on the same horizontal line are performed simultaneously. Line lengths are determined by breath breaks as in verse but the reading as in conversation is generally fluid. Most speeches have typographic indicators for particular emphasis, volume, or emotion. Some chacters on the othe hand are more monochromatic. The letter from Lehrer reads, "here is another copy of versations for your collection. i hope that the other books arrived safely. thanks again and enjoy................." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
