By Jack Joseph Smith

I have never seen priceless things and priceless people happen before: They thought I was not going to have anything to think about,. until I saw her standing against the tree, and don't get me wrong, I am making sure that I don't miss anything, it is not easy not changing; tough in one place, no matter where it is, somehow courage has one like their surroundings Maybe it is better not to go, but on the road in America, nothing is better than that, it is called earn the right to sing a song

The page moves from priceless things and people into the sight of a woman against a tree, the effort not to miss anything, courage in one's surroundings, and the road in America as a way to earn the right to sing.

The road is important here. The left-margin handwritten words add emphasis around presence but remain non-placeable annotations, while the verified poem values movement as qualification rather than escape.
