By Jack Joseph Smith

Not a particular of nature's things crossed her view without attention Gravity had not the power, the force of alitude, later the bandit would start to speak, while she would think, why are you not more relaxed Snow peddles and full rain, watershed and the tips of belief, n crossed her mid like every day film, even when it was sunny and she could e she herself She walked across the sand, the meadows, the forests, and higher up among harder times, the desert with a fig, the valley with corn, the forest with barries, the mountain without a leaf, and when she saw four suns across the sky, she was still down below

The page follows a woman whose attention takes in nature, weather, and terrain before ending with her vision of four suns across the sky while she remains below.

She is defined by perception rather than mastery: nothing in nature escapes her notice, yet gravity and altitude keep setting limits around her. The poem inventories terrains from sand to mountain as if her life had crossed whole climates of belief and hardship. The handwritten change to four suns makes the final image stranger and more expansive, because vision exceeds position even when the body remains down below.

This page defines a woman by perception rather than mastery: 'Not a particular of nature's things / crossed her view without attention,' yet 'Gravity' and 'the force / of alitude' keep setting limits, and 'the bandit' asks 'why are you not more relaxed.' It inventories whole terrains crossed 'among harder / times' - 'the desert with a fig, the valley / with corn, the forest with barries, the / mountain without a leaf' - until the handwritten-corrected vision lands: 'when she saw four suns across the sky, / she was still down below,' so sight exceeds position even as the body stays earthbound.
