ENTROPY




cold streaming sweat
anxiety pressed against the glass
as survival is seemingly determined
by what is left upon the shelves
such is life by the code
that has forgotten about humanity
and what it stood for hands tremble with trepidation
over the choices left to make
as civilised consideration
takes much more than
an annual leave of absence
and simple pleasures
seem much less than they should be notions of intimacy
bury themselves in the sands
of an impermanent hiatus
as with every other concession
considered minor
merely 'precautionary' ... of course we wait; all of us;
for the greed and chaos to end
to resume functionality
as though it were
but a pothole in the road.
