Untitled ("The is a rainbow around the Moon")

By Jack Joseph Smith

The is a rainbow around the Moon I did not stare at sulfer all day to find out there wouldn't be Something more than this Don't think I do not love through the night You know I work through the light Because I am born the best I am unusual and out of the question Be amused I do not live for myself I live for the universe

The poem says 'The is a rainbow around the Moon', 'I did not stare at sulfer all day', 'Because I am born the best / I am unusual and out of the / question', and ends 'I do not live for myself / I live for the universe'.

A boast of being born the best turns into a claim of living for the universe. The typed double space after 'unusual' is kept.
