Functional

This is one hot day
and after staring at
several months worth
of chaos
it's starting to wear

but chaos
is what's on
the menu
for now
sure is hot out

i'm fascinated by chaos
you're a scientist
pray tell me
if i attempt to build
a model of chaos
will it have to fail
in order
to succeed

nice one
cheers

thank you - it's a fair question, and considering the model that starts with a butterfly and ends with a hurricane, i'd have to say yes. The models tend to underpredict what actually happens (reality stranger than theory, or maybe just too many possible outcomes). truth is i can't model chaos, but like the rest of us just know it when I see it. here's hoping for fewer hurricanes.

chaos seems ubiquitous these times... can't be sure whether i'll still have a job by next year or what i'll be doing ...
