Poem Title:
Poem
if the universe were ruled by unpredictable events, there would be no sustainable structure to it. you go through live living day after day the same way. wake up, turn off your alarm, get out of bed, take a shower, and dress. numerous changes can (and will) inflict chaos upon this routine. as you dress, a button pops and you have to sew it back on. or go back a step and you're taking a hotter shower than you normally do. another step back and your back hurts so you plant both feet on the floor, clasp your hands together and raise them over your head to stretch for a good minute and a half. its a good thing you went to bed earlier than normal last night so you wouldn't press the snooze button on your alarm like you did yesterday morning. otherwise you wouldn't have had that extra minute and a half to stretch because your neck and back hurt from those pillows you bought after work the previous day and those five extra minutes to sew the button back on your shirt. and who's to say you won't spill your morning coffee, made with the new coffee maker wit the automatic timer you bought with those pillows. and to further demolish the idea that life has any sustainable structure, have you ever counted the number of breaths you take in a day, and then drew a chart and then for the rest of that week, count all your breaths in each of the other six days and write those numbers down on the chart you drew on the first day? no. but if you did, you would know for a fact that at the end of the day, you wold be left with a completely different number of breaths because wit each new day comes new situations and events that inflict new feelings and emotions, such as the fear and anxiety you felt after hitting another car on your way to work on the third day of this "breath experiment" you've never done which caused your heart to race and your blood pressure to rise which consequently increased the number of breaths you took that day and consequently made you over an hour late for work but that's another story. not only is the world ruled by randomness and unpredictable events but that is the only structure that is guaranteed to be sustained in the universe.
