order of chaos

i ordered some chaos the other night

but when it arrived
it was piping hot
and had been sliced into squares

i sprinkled it with black holes
stirring them in well
kinking and curving all its straight lines
cooling it cooler than the coldest ice

edible it was not, so i drank it
wiping my vanishing mouth
with the back of my disappearing hand
