Human connection,

what we desire most
each of us has our own
thoughts,
insights,
love,
we find comfort in
camaraderie
hope in
fellowship

Human connection
what we fear most
each of us, with our
fears,
insecurities,
guilt,
we find vexation in
miscommunication,
sorrow in
loss

Human connection
what sometimes seems impossible
each of us is composed of
individuality
beliefs
secrets
we are solitary in
our minds
which causes fear in
our hearts

as common as carbon is a poetic stream of consciousness.
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
