The Rig Veda (Edit 1.0 - Datsun)
Quarks are permanent,
or whatever the standard model says
these days, our picture of the firmament
dividing waters. Though stars must die,
they live ten billion years, five billion
the age of the earth, two million
humankind unto today,
reoccurring in flesh or silicon,
recycled rock or gold, from the burst sutures
of supernovae. Only entropy
does not reset, a one way street to the past,
and so you don’t remember the future
unto the last day’s dimming of the vast
infinite void. Is it that, or perpetual
rebirth - who knows it well
or at all? Even the gods were wrought
in the fire of the last world's end,
and cannot know
or tell.
