Chaos, Keep It Coming!
By Heather Ryphemi Stregay
Can you imagine how life would be
If there were no entropy?
Or, making matters even worse,
The law of entropy were reversed?
Books would get straighter on their shelves,
And children's rooms would clean themselves!
And every rock or stick or tree
Would form a crystal, perfectly.
There'd be no anarchy or war
For everyone would know the score.
Every thing and every face
Would have its certain time and place.
Replacing every beach would pass
An endless stretch of flawless glass.
The sea would be the brightest blue,
And every day the sky would too.
How beautiful would be our world
If order did command it.
If all were straight and never curled:
Perhaps we should demand it.
You'd think a world sans entropy
Would be a lovely place to be.
I said this recently myself,
As all my books fell off their shelf.
Yet pondering this ordered bliss,
I noticed things that I would miss,
Like rolling waves upon the sea,
Or sugar for my morning tea:
The sugar won't dissolve, it's true,
That ant-entropy holds like glue.
And after that, I saw with grief,
There'd be no fractaled maple leaf:
No beauty in the summer wood,
Should chaos disappear for good.
What a bore, to know each day
Would turn out in the same old way.
If entropy would disappear
There'd be no fortune, fate or luck
And even after many years,
Vegas wouldn't make a buck.
