a benevolent disruption of logic
voicing her passions
as her nimble fingers manipulate,
no,
create,
projecting herself into this world
and into my arms.
I heard birds squawking;
She listened to their song.
I prove myself with reason;
She proves herself with colors.
But this is illogical,
and I’m all shades of grey.
So why do our hands keep finding each other?
And why are our kisses so welcoming?
She can only be herself,
but I can be anyone.

(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
