involuntary metaphor mapping

Eight
         or six thousand
golden             splinters
           raked
                     the
          denim           easter
             spring
                        loaded
                                       sky
a         tiny
    eye                     I
      gasped
                sucked
                         inhaled
              the        water
                    laden
                                     nourishment
rippled
            mosaics
                                     replaced
            tears
                      with             fire
Transcription           of
    the        tick
whistled                                        silence

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
