I am chaos theory,
that strange amalgamation of
order and anarchy,
fearsome and gorgeous
as a star, a galaxy.

look at my arms,
spiralling, stunning
as a Lorenz attractor,
attracting stardust to my centre,
my black hole,
my churning void of gravity.

are you brave enough to look
straight at me?

are you wise enough to see
the beauty in this fury,
deterministic matter
devolving into a haze of
the arbitrary?

I am a fusion of dynamical systems,
a point on a geometrical
manifold, and yet I am

so much more.
observing me does not collapse me.
I am infinite (im)possibility.
