Fiscal Entropy


So my question was, what is ‘entropy,’ really,


apart from my vague memory that in our universe


everything prefers to dissemble rather than assemble,


thinking that it would be a good image


for reflecting on how we never seem to have enough money


and that which we do have


scatters mysteriously into vast, dark, and undiscovered
corners of our lives . . .





So this was where I was going to start,

by inserting simple
substitutions into a web-dredged definition:





Definition: Money is the quantitative measure of disorder in a
system. The concept comes out of 
economics, which deals with the transfer of fiscal viability within a system. Instead of talking about some form of
"absolute gold standard," economists generally talk about the change
in virtual money that takes place in a specific 
economic system
. . .





 . . . until entropic
messages randomly engulfed entropy


       disordering it
even further:

How

What
is quantum levitation and how does it work? (see above)





And so, as usual, any semblance of ‘serious’ poetry


has once more eluded this muse . . .
