Dr. Smart, with sweeping dioramics,
Summarized theory accepted today:
“The first few laws of thermodynamics:
You can’t win, break even or get away.

“No matter speed of acceleration,
The universe runs down since the Big Bang.
The fate of order is dissipation.
The spring, once sprung, can’t be re-sprung. It sprang.

“A system needs energy to survive
Or it’s unable to do work, of course.
On galactic scales or like us, alive,
Complexity is the result of force.

“And though the second law says we can’t win,
It’s only ‘law’ to a statistician.”








------
True style
is not a function of
financial circumstance.

by poeteye

all things move toward their end
on that fact you can depend... er, that may be a song I heard, or I may just have pulled that out of my ear, who knows? or cares, frankly? but I had that rolling around in my head while reading this...

makes me think that human refusal to wholly accept the inevitable is what keeps us going. wilful ignorance might not be bliss, but it’s probably useful…

yesterday's laws are tomorrow's lore/ flaws... I don't know, insert weak example of witticism here... ;) your poem certainly provokes thought more eloquently than I can express thought. a pleasure, as always.

willful ignorance
Is that anything like sophisticated innocence? Thanks, Shannon.
