From the order at the origin
To utter chaos within a blink
The ruthless march of time has begun
Before there were even minds to think
From the singularity burst
A quantum of the infinite
Hurtling helplessly through spacetime
Ambiguously different
Along the arrow of time, it flies
Unidirectional by design
Defying elegant symmetry
Sacrificing order to sublime
Resplendently calamitous
Silent agents of entropy
Conspiring to bring disorder
To our ordered philosophy
Many eons were spent evolving
Molding from the primordial clay
A nascent consciousness soon emerged
Seeking order from the disarray
Many minds began in earnest
To find meaning in the abstract
Unable to wrestle answers
From experience that they lacked
They set out to blindly discover
A new philosophy in the dark
Never knowing the complexity
Of this journey they soon would embark
When witnessing cause and effect
They were unable to resolve
Why an egg can’t be unscrambled
Another puzzle to be solved
While each spatial dimension affords
Movement along any direction
Time seems to resists this symmetry
In physics greatest insurrection
With time as the fourth dimension
Yet directions can be reversed
Why did agents of entropy
Prevent time from being traversed
Many evolved minds struggled greatly
Seeking a place among errant dust
Though determinism seemed to prevail
It was reality going bust
Deeper down the black hole they dove
Observational logic fails
Stubborn agents of entropy
Prevent elegance to avail
In arrogant juxtaposition
Convenient simplicity be damned
That wayward quantum of infinite
Defies all entropy out of hand
Crashing through the temporal gate
Arriving before it departs
This paradox of entropy
Brings it all right back to the start
The singularity burgeons
Agents of entropy now retire
Chaos coalesces to order
One last infinite quantum of fire
