Untitled ("I like to lood in the mirror")

By Jack Joseph Smith

I like to lood in the mirror and know the movies have nothin on me I was in the mojobi desert When I was a child Stealing petrified wood with my Dad We definately had a shootgun too at So try they as a look alike I have no rain on my shoulder with you I lift my brests to the shower spick My hair longer by the instant My moise is not your navel It is the plastic stall I look at the jade I have picked up From the bottom of the Earth

A mirror scene and comparison with movies lead into a childhood recollection of collecting petrified wood with Dad. The poem returns to the shower, the body, and a piece of jade gathered from the earth.

Film images and present bodily attention sit beside an earlier collecting trip. The unusual place name and other source spellings should not be normalized to familiar words. A raised typed correction near the look-alike line is unresolved; the interpretation does not rely on one guessed reconstruction.

The speaker says 'I like to lood in the mirror / and know the movies / have nothin on me', recalls 'the mojobi desert' 'with my Dad', has a raised typed 'at' above 'So try they as a look alike', and ends 'I look at the jade / I have picked up / From the bottom of the Earth'.

Self-regard, childhood scavenging and a shower scene end on a found stone. The raised 'at' and 'they' are kept as separate readings, and 'moise' may be an overstruck letter.
