We have emerged because we will disappear,
But while the rates of coming and going vary
Continuously as a part of both, the continuity
Of coming and going could be infinite, could
Be what infinity is, its essence, its identity.
Mortality is immortal, extending forever
In every direction, the sole dimension. But,
What about entropy? Haven’t we been sliding
Down from low to high since the beginning?
Isn’t order finite? I suspect entropy of being
An aspect of gravity, as gravity is the effect
Of nothing on everything, allowing anything.
But I haven’t answered your question. Entropy
Is a curiosity in the numbers, as, summed
Over the entirety of everything, it can only
Increase, and yet it can’t increase infinitely.
But what if that last part’s wrong? The law
Demands we head in the direction of more
Entropy, but why are we convinced the cosmos
Could ever attain a maximally entropic state?
After the first death come infinite others.
