Entropy
The only space in which unending light
Occurs, spreads out, ideal, towards everywhere
Is in Jerusalem in Saint John’s sight
On Patmos. Love of God has driven him spare,
Poor thing, a non-existent God (like all
Divinities), so madness makes much sense.
This Brothers Grimmisch city might enthrall
The prophet, gospel writer, leave him dense
To seeing truth, but we do not need that.
We live with facts, facts, facts. Our facts do not
Require delusions. Clarity goes splat
When truth is muddled in with mystic clot.
Unending light does not exist. The stars
All die. There will not even be memoirs.
