By Jack Joseph Smith

No stopping his thoughts he has his right of passage Simple to fall in love and if getting a job dosen't make me a jerk I will be remembered as having at least one child He says keep your ears open laying off a soft circumstance Don't worry about the rain when it whips, I was always a star in another place Something is dismile when so alone, so clear So clean as my birds, my frogs as friends A hot dog, anything that is even except cities The goasts say stay, while it is silly for them to make question about those who went before me My resistance is serious, extreamly political Consacrate the lock, no trick, watch me it To stare and practice nothingness in its finest waring archatecture while we know having more than two hands is not real It is hard to tell people that everything amounting to glory has alwys been one false limb and that is why Creation has nothing to do with what I've done

AI Interpretation

GPT

The speaker seeks recognition through love and a child, calls resistance political, and disputes the connection between glory, Creation and personal action.

Advice to keep ears open and attend to those who came before sits beside a claim of political resistance. Handwriting adds birds and frogs as friends, waring archatecture and the description of glory as one false limb. Creation is separated from what the speaker has done, though an omitted revised verb leaves an earlier command incomplete.

A run of statements moves from 'No stopping his thoughts he has his right of passage' and the hope to 'be remembered as having at least one child' to 'My resistance is serious, extreamly political'. It ends by claiming 'everything amounting / to glory has alwys been one false limb / and that is why Creation has nothing to do with what I've done'.

The page reads like a string of declarations, with advice from 'He' mixed into the speaker's own claims. Handwritten revisions add 'So clean as my birds, my frogs as friends', 'Consacrate the lock' and 'in its finest waring archatecture', making the typed lines stranger and more physical. The close sets personal action against glory and Creation.
