HOWDY
By Jack Joseph Smith
Original Scan
AI Interpretation
The page feels like a sudden informal salutation, a one-word doorway rather than a developed poem.
Because the sheet is almost blank except for `HOWDY`, the force comes from placement and tone. It reads like an opening wink, a frontier hello, or a deliberately casual threshold into whatever follows.
A page holding only the word 'HOWDY'. Wedged between the floated title and 'Part I', it works as a colloquial throat-clearing - the plainest American greeting set against the grander 'Fantasy in Revolution' that brackets it.
