on not in

This neutered state of self
is changed
mindsets and habits
rearranged

Conversations
ranged:
ideology
sociology
sexuality
neutrality
good
and
evil

We talked to other people
but wound up next to each other

You came home with me

You climbed onto my bed
but not into it.
You came home with me,
but you didn’t stay

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
