In the beginning, was the word ‘entropy’
Everything was simple and tame
Then things got complex and rowdy
Before they chilled, to become simple again
But back then, entropy was just as small
Always increasing, as the cosmos grows
But it won’t come back down, to the ground
As far as anybody knows
Most ways to configure a Universe
Results in similar random mushes of energy
Most are distributed
It’s disputed
Misanthropically. Ie, without me
So, I imagine a Universe, in which entropy
Decreased instead of increased, somehow
And what a weird world that would be
But, it’s not. I’m actually living in it now
If I was going backwards in time, that’s what I’d see
Travelling towards those earliest foundations
Waving goodbye to all things complex
Towards low entropy and zero complications
So
As far as I know
My favourite type of entropy
Is in a battle, in cosmology
And in information theory
Hiding the truth from me
Yet, information can’t be lost forever
Past boundaries, intent on disguisin’
Dark artefacts, thoughts painted black
Still hidden, beyond the horizon
