In my dream I could paint

the consequence more illustrious
than the original
a glorious magnificent representation

even I was shocked at the
precision of my depiction

why was it you
I chose to show
my fantastic achievement to
is lost in my subconscious

the circinate strokes were black
surrounding a nucleic absence
set against an ominous backdrop

                                              as dark as the circles under your eyes

I don’t know
why you were there
or whether you cared
I don’t know why
I was there
or anywhere
I can’t understand
or care

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
