Time After Time

A poem about a topic all good poets must confront, enter, digest ...

I’ve been traveling. Report shortly. Long days on the bike, meditation, putting the world back together again, brick upon brick, second after second.

Sharing a video I produced and also an experimental work of art I’ve often been fond of - on the topic of entropy, the scientific principle that coats everything, informs all our actions. From the moment of our birth, we are melting. No conclusions. It just is …

Entropy

Nothing endures, all fades
Photographs yellow, stars burst
Even my lovers pearly whites
Seem to be vulnerable to cavities.

Only those minute bacteria, those earth turners
That hold the world up on their shoulders
Seem to have learned to just be.

They die over and over, thus live forever.
They have learned that the laws of our universe
Do not apply to the insignificant.
