Richard Jarboe Poems

When Souls Leave bodies they take heat and air;
They dissolve into space and emanate there.
When souls return they carry heat and air
To create new tissue to which they share.

It's hard to write a meaningful essay on the subject of meaninglessness.
You have to force yourself out of your own personal meaninglessness.
You have to come out of your own personal coma to become awake,
And then come up with some significant plucky romp about meaninglessness,
...

Almost Done
Not there yet
A sub sum
A sub set.
...

No matter what's taken
No matter what's shaken
Jersey finds a way.
...

The present moment ruled by the past
In this present torment where love don't last
My velocity way too fast
It comes with love ruled by the past.
...

All the tired miners taking a break,
All busted up, looking for a flake,
Wasted miners sittin' around,
Before going back, tearin' up the ground.
...

Thoughts of never
Roll forever through my mind
Never, never's such a long long time.
...

Everything's got some kind of code
From the Law of the Jungle
To the Rules of the Road.
...

We're moving on to die no more,
Eyes upon that distant shore,
Righteous as we march to war
Moving on to die no more.
...
