now that God isn’t watching?
Now that airplanes and the internet
have proved cultural relativism to be

Environmentalists forgot about the human experience.
Now that ethics are subjective,

and it’s in a state of constant flux.

(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
