By Jack Joseph Smith

Gone There I saw it Hard with the deposit First it is sure, then it is unconclusive It is not a mixture Two ways at the same time will find themselves No matter what they call them on there way When a glance sees someone who is lost Or when streightforward I see someone who is as they have always been Something says in me Isn't that enough

AI Interpretation

GPT

The speaker considers certainty and an unconclusive result, two ways that find themselves, and seeing people who are lost or unchanged, before asking whether that is enough.

The speaker tests the adequacy of recognizing another person. The poem leaves the deposit and the two ways unspecified, so it cannot support a confident financial or philosophical scheme.

Claude

'Gone' moves from 'First it is sure, / then it is unconclusive' to seeing 'someone who is lost' or someone 'as / they have always been', ending 'Something says in me / Isn't that enough'.

The poem accepts uncertainty and steadiness side by side; unconclusive and streightforward are kept as typed.
