Street cleaning
As I skate in the mornings
I watch the miles of macadam
sweep by
I watch the disintegration of objects
as the wheels of machines
pass over them again and again
again
When I come by the next day they are reduced
more
the particles be come more fre quent
un till af ter mon ths go by

Can one say "I like entropy!!" ? When I was 11 or 12 I began to read science fiction and discovered Isaac Asimov, recently deceased. He wrote a collection of short stories called "9 Tomorrows", in which one of them revolved around entropy. So.... I have liked entropy since about 1960.
