it's ok to forget me


Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something.

Gil Scott-Heron


Angela Buron



change can be a subtle thing

and you can learn a lot from your changes

the sacramento valley is a fine teacher

but the lessons are very slow in coming 

you only get a little everyday 

the curling of a leaf 

a scent on the wind

subtle changes for your education 

you have to be sure not to miss any classes


James Lee Jobe





everyone on earth 

should write their own obituary 

just in case

and what would i say 

i jobe a poor poet

born in baltimore 1956 

had a good life

i loved a fine woman 

and raised children with her

lived in a house that was ours together

i helped her plant a garden 

and some fruit trees 

i wasn’t perfect 

and i didn't care to be

the sun  the moon 

the stars  the sky

the earth  

the forests  the rivers 

i loved them all

they entertained me  nourished me 

and i die fulfilled and content 

i hate no one

i love many 

and i don’t mind being forgotten

in the end we all are

I think people should be allowed to do anything they want. We haven't tried that for a while. Maybe this time it'll work.
