caution cautious

a [supreme]
           hesitation
to confront
fear
cloaked and dissipated
in ambiguity
just carry on
check off the list
deface priorities
ambiguate
selfish realizations
repressed
in favor of camaraderie.
Twisted,
the roots of my self
are entangled around
           you
seclusion
-so oft desired-
is unattainable
            in our world

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
