“Thermodynamics’ Third Law (Revised)”

I can feel my body

going back to Earth each day,

as it justly must*!

 

*(when I counted that last line’s alternate in the original I realized “After Math” had stuck again!  as it justly does – because after man came – and still does – recess.  The old “but plenty remains” now just a second thought relegated back to the dust, as it were)

“Third Law Of Thermodynamics Appears”

I can feel my body

going back to Earth each day –

but plenty remains*!

 

*(so many just-off lines: ‘as it justly must’ among the better lines traded for one that fits…like my corrupted swipe at the NY Times: “All the News That’s Fit To Print” became to me “All The News That’s Print To Fit!”  So one day I will come back with my reviser hatchet overhead!)

“Next-Death Rehersal” Tanka 134

rehearsing next death

like seasoning a nice roast:

better with practice!

recognizing entropy

for a warm, smart caring friend!
