There you are,
a single entity
comprised of infinite
constituents:
A past
that has brought you to this
present,
all of which will dictate
your future,
while I lay in bed
reviewing,
processing,
analyzing,
wondering,
losing focus of
the present,
caught up in a search—
a maddening desire—
to understand
the infinite.
I refuse to have
faith,
but I will try to retain some
hope.

(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
