Jim Boone Poems

As the advanced years of stayin' alive
Are a shock and the stuff a pre-70/fo-Ho-
Mental-breakdown was made of, but now
There's the therapy of IBC Galveston
...

Don't rock me until the bough breaks
and I come falling down
or bless the ties that bind me.
...

I live alone
Usually by choice
Sometimes the walls
Talk back to me;
...

I live in the Now - each day as if
it were my last - except for the times
when I feel that longevity of health
quite ‘exceptional' will do me in.
...

Visualize a small candle flame
Listen to the whisper that you sense

"It's only your body. It's not you "
...

On the road to God-knows-where
Saints and sinners hitchhiking
Incognito as youth burns up the road
And age tries to repair it.
...

When Yesterday Was Only A Minute Away
There was no time for storing the kid stuff
Because adults were always assaulting little
Boy memory-building and I was taking notes
...

As this life unfolds
A simultaneous life
Travels hand-in-hand
...

Lonesome Roads

Was the best character
Andy Williams ever played
...

When we choose
(Or fate calls us
To) a new life stage
We experience a rebirth
...
