"Jhave's Disclaimer and Reboot The Universe Now: A Propositional Poem for World Peace are two examples of what might be called concept pieces. Disclaimer takes the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) ratings and scrambles them, via a cyclic recombination of words and phrases, to create a poetic commentary on individual and corporate censorship. Reboot, in Jhave's own words, is a piece about how 'god is an inept programmer who inadvertently created a flawed universe full of unnecessary suffering [ . . . ] Personally, I am disillusioned by all political, social, psychological or spiritual efforts to improve reality; I honestly believe the best option is a universal reboot.' This piece is one attempt at that." -- from The New River Journal
