It is a strange state of being
to feel:
to taste the remnants of your meals
scrubbed off your teeth
mixed with the minty flavored chemicals
that may or may not be giving you cancer.
to spit them out
and watch them flow down the drain
to undergo some sort of
“treatment process”
and come out of someone else’s faucet
where it may or may not be giving them cancer
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
