Raising Chaos [Free Verse]

Raise chaos:
That's the job of intelligent life,
to make nice & orderly things
so they can crack and shatter
and eventually end up pulverized
to dust --
A fine, granular dust that will blow
across the universe.

First, the bowl must be made:
Some potter must shape and glaze
and fire it with care,
Turning sandwiches into art...
and waste heat --
entropy slow and fast.

All so someone can crack or chip it
(with ease and lack of intention,)
starting it on a path to being sand
grains a world away.
