A backwards glance
[may be the last glimpse of you]
of you in your faux fur
red flannel
autumnal activewear
walking away from
the steps of
the old pink
as I rolled towards
my corner of home
my be all I have to look back upon
when I think upon the last time I saw you
“I love you; and please don’t die before we see each other again.”
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
