you were a radiating verisimilitude

of light consistent
however
our seemingly transient
sojourns seem to unanimously
end in darkness
when everything
gnostic and sensual
has an air of fallacy to it
all you can do is search for
some semblance of truth
and when that fails:
hope
and when that fails:
write it down
and move on

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
