A Mean Poem

What is your presence to me?
an interruption?
a derailment?
a bewilderment?
a friendship?
temptation?
a series of pixels
makes a code
provoking
stimulating
new situations
same old feelings

I want to play the game                                  your apraxia frustrated me

I should not play the game
there’s a lot more at stake
this time

how to use:

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
