since my thoughts have started to stray
to places
I don’t want them to go
don’t forecast the end
for this is not over
this, is this
and we are, now
don’t presuppose conclusion
but I cannot stop
everything human
is mortal
everything mortal
will fade
into oblivion
so where does that leave us?
leaving our marks, together
only to fade away:
dissolve
into the
infinite

there are 3 categories of “poems”:
(i) heteroglossic synesthesia (complete poems)
(ii) hobonyms (words with no homes)
(iii) mind jerky (thoughts to chew on)
after reading a poem you have 3 options to “turn the page”
“RANDOM” – takes you to a random poetic expression
#hastags – take you to another random poem with the same theme or motif
#category – takes you to a random poem in the same category
“no one can step in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and they are not the same person” – possibly Heraclitus
just as no one can step in the same river twice, no one can have the same experience of “as common as carbon” twice
