Entropic dream

Written 12 November 1997

Anti-entropic endeavors make me tired
And the cold wind blows
Striving for equality with the sun

The heat from the sun
Does little
To warm my heart.

Tiresome, even
The effort required
To think.

And the abyss yearns to become
A valley
A plain
A mountain
A planet

And the rain
Would be snow
Would rather
Be air

And the air admires
The substanciality
Of the earth.

The atoms will mix and mingle
The molecules will return
To the basest
Of substance.

And my mind will be
The equal of them all:
All the same:
All the same.
