Abandoned Tango WIth Chaos

When structure sets in
And the ruts get deep,
The goddess of chaos
Starts to look good.
She smiles a sexy smile at you
And beckons you to dance.

And you should always
Go with her
When she gives you

That slightest chance,
For nothing will burst
Your comfort zone
Like a summer fling with her.

You might even see

Beyond your cage,
Or wake
From a dull night’s dream.
And if you are the closed-ended type,
You can always read that last page first,
Or find another door to shut,
Or start some other safe, little rut,
But please, go from better to worse.

Otherwise you go against the grain.
You’ll break natural laws

And reap the pain—
The penalty of ignorance.
Thermodynamics requires that abandoned tango
With Chaos.
