Invisible
She sits on an unroofed bench
Perched on a book inside a freezer bag
It's lightly raining
In front of her cars are lined up at a light
They're stretched down the street farther than anyone can see
It's early fall
Some, maybe most of those people in their cars in that line
Are cursing the light, cursing the rain, cursing the backup
It's almost twilight
She sits perched on a freezer bagged book waiting for a bus
There's a rainbow arching through the sky beyond the cars
Much honking is going on
She's watching the cars, listening to the honking, admiring the sky
Sketching in a damp little book
This Is Crap
The theory is first there's chaos
Then, as things settle down, you have
Ideally
"Controlled chaos"
As more time passes
As things settle
To the bottom
Then you have entropy
At entropy you have succeeded in decay
It's a visual
Decay working it's way through the fabric of entropy
Until eventually
It falls through
Out to the other side
And turns into chaos again
Rock a bye Baby
On the Tree Top
You can see this theory at work in
Societies
Governments
Civilizations
Systems
And relationships
You extend the theory to study and understand
Why?
Some societies, governments, systems, relationships
Succeed longer than others
And you find it's the ability
To control
The chaos
Control it in such a way that the inevitable entropy
The wearing through of the fabric
Is delayed
Keep the chaos going
But in a controlled manner
Or is it the other way round?
