but for now I’ll
plead “busyness”
the inability to confront

tolerance
as I slowly navigate
responsibilities and
manipulate my means
in order to

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

just as no one can step in the same river twice, no one can have the same experience of “as common as carbon” twice
