To Richard
The solar system,
The galaxy,
in one egg shell,
more than a dozen, I am sure,
which one is Heaven?
Has it cracked open?
I have been sapped,
so therefore,
where is Heaven?
Copyright Jennifer Arbour 2001.
Blind People
When you are a blind person,
all people are black.
Copyright Jennifer Arbour 2001.
Excerpt from Suicide is Painless.
Note this is not written by Jennifer Arbour but she likes it.
A brave man once requested me,
to answer questions that are key.
Is it to be, or not to be?
So I replied, 'Oh why ask me?'
Copyright Mike Altman & Johnny Mandell
All Men.
All men evolved from corn husks.
Fridge Poem
Void head beneath the sky,
Enormous sordid winds blow a friend behind.
Copyright Jennifer Arbour 2001.
The stamp
A stamp goes far.
First you stamp out the door.
The stamp on the letter
is as light as a feather.
Did you read my reply?
Thanks for your letter.

Untitled 1
Put another log on the fire.
Yee ha!
It only weighs three quarters of a ton.
Yee ha!
Even though it only burns for hours.
Instead of lasting years and years to come.
Don't you think they were put there for a reason?
After all they are older than you are.
Don't you think the future is important?
Because they are higher so much higher than your sight.
Copyright Jennifer Arbour 2001.
Untitled 2
I want to get my wings back.
There would be a sun,
And other suns for me to see.
I would detach myself for the love of GOD.
If I could end everything for all.

The mountain
You have reached your mountain top.
You feel safe and secure,
in beauty and in peace.
If you decide to come down a bit,
and all the others see you,
just climb right back up to the top of your mountain,
till you feel like coming down again.
Copyright Jennifer Arbour 2002.
The Sea
I am Jennifer,
I am like an octopus.
I have eight tentacles.
I am versatile.
I have many decisions to make.
The tentacles like minds all attached.
The octopus in me so let it be.
