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

  1. 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.
