Caveat: Poem #2178 “No so smart”

ㅁ
I dreamed that I was Elon Musk,
in jail for doing fraud;
a silly judge passed sentence then:
"He'll go to space, abroad!"
They put me on my rocket ship
along with certain staff;
I'd brought my markers and a mug,
I knew I'd have last laugh.
We set course for my favorite spot,
that planet over there;
"To Mars!" I said, "we'll start anew!"
But I'd forgot: no air.

– three stanzas in ballad meter.

Caveat: Poem #2045 “Toward epistemic heat death”

"If you are a divergentist, you hold that the
social-cognitive universe is expanding towards
an epistemic heat death of universal solipsism,
and you are at peace with this thought."
- Venktash Rao

when epistemic death heat comes
the universe will end
amid an endless chattering
of apophenic trends

– a quatrain in ballad meter, on a philosophical topic that piqued my interest.
