Untitled ("Flowers flot or stay still, rivers and")

By Jack Joseph Smith

Flowers flot or stay stilll, rivers and tombstones are places for poets to go to walk Sparkling wine always hadme lost, I always thought that spraying was for the children You got to fight at the right angle I don't drink, and most of the time I have never said he has a thing for me I am not along though, to good looking, I suppose. I have water to telll me how good looking I am, Sometimes it dries up; when it dosen't do that, it moves away, really fast, it is better than a mirror, you know, taking you down and going away I'm serious; walking through the house I see Greatgrandmother's mirror is gone

The speaker describes poets visiting rivers and tombstones, recalls sparkling wine and measures their looks in water. Moving or drying water is preferred to a mirror, before the speaker notices Greatgrandmother's mirror is gone.

Water offers the speaker a changing reflection rather than a fixed likeness. The missing mirror is part of the speaker's account, not an independently confirmed household loss.

The poem says 'Flowers flot or stay stilll, rivers and / tombstones are places for poets to go', 'I have water to telll me / how good looking I am, Sometimes it / dries up', and ends 'I see Greatgrandmother's mirror is gone'.

Water stands in for a mirror, and the missing heirloom mirror closes the poem. 'flot', 'hadme', 'stilll' and 'telll' are typed forms.
