By Jack Joseph Smith

Connection To care and take apart summery is not to murder, though murder may be Knowing that everything done quick is a feast, Everybody should watch closely; all should belong, The danger changers, fast they slip from one to another, Keep fast to it, let it not slip through your door, Let us say that anyone dealing with brokerage, desired to make it a secret thing one at a time, by nature to be even more selective He says I won't clean your clock like a con man, I'll clean your clock like I can Shakespear

This revised page condenses 'Connection' into a sharper statement about secrecy, danger, and the refusal of counterfeit toughness.

Because the page survives only in fragments, it reads like a distilled version of the poem's argument. The clock line becomes the central test of sincerity and force.

A tighter variant of Connection. The danger changers slipping from one to another, dealing with brokerage by desire-secret, one thing at a time, more selective by nature. The poem crystallizes around the line: I will not clean your clock like a con man, I will clean your clock like I can. Shakespeare as signoff.
