The Quality of a Life Demonstrates Much Higher Entropy Than Does the Life Itself

Divide your life evenly.
Begin traditionally,
From the date you first drew breath.

If the day you’re on’s not prime,
Pick your denominator
From available factors
And thumb each numerator:

One third, two thirds, one seventh,
Two—where were you, who were you?
How’d each stage have looked
To its antecessor you?

Do it again tomorrow.
However thin you slice it,
Each slice held joys and sorrows.
