Poetry About Entropy

Coffee gives its heat to the colder room. No hand can call each warm molecule home. A sandcastle loosens under patient waves. Stars spend their fire across impossible years. Order is a brief arrangement energy keeps. Entropy writes time in things coming apart.

Look again from the quieter edge. No hand can call each warm molecule home. A smaller detail changes the whole scene. Stars spend their fire across impossible years. Attention loosens the first easy answer. Entropy writes time in things coming apart.

Coffee gives its heat to the colder room. Hours pass, but the image does not leave. A sandcastle loosens under patient waves. It returns us to disorder, energy, time, thermodynamics, decay, and the universes drift toward equilibrium. Order is a brief arrangement energy keeps. The day continues with a more attentive heart.
