Acrostic Poem by Gurupreet K Khalsa
They weep here/ for how the world goes.
“The Aeneid,” 56-57
Pretension cloaking despair –
Entropy’s unbearable imminence crosses
A line in time’s sand, broken by chaos
Caught half up and half down,
Emerging as the bleak decoherence
The content below was originally paywalled.
Of quirled expectations. Eye to the fractal scope:
New gossamer symmetry, essential beauty
Elevates by degrees past scything cynicism,
A journey through a maze undone by light
Reflecting galactic stepping stones,
The power of Right and Justice,
Hope to mend a fractured world.
Unbearable imminence:
Ben H. Winters, “The Last Policeman” (2012)
