On Chaos

Under the light of the morning sun
And the humming roar of the city
Detached from the world,
I look and see.

A machine that never rests
A system that never stops
A complexity of connections, thoughts
Opinions, stories, lots and lots…
Humans.

A system of chaos
A system of disorder
A system on the border
Of collapse
A system of order
Predictable
Complex
Connected
Unstably stable.

Chaos seems unpredictable
Ununderstandable
Labyrinthine
Complex
Complex
Complex.

Look closer
Don’t just look
See
Nothing as ordered as chaos
Patterns and mirrors
Understanding and wisdom
Order is in chaos
Chaos is in order.
