Inside the All-Swallower Is All Light

Praise Claude Shannon’s flame-throwing trumpet,
The purpose of which remains obscure.
He built it for the information

Carrying capacity of mixed
And perhaps hazardous metaphors,
The trumpet that signals with no noise.

The Seraphim all blow such trumpets
While covering up God in their wings.
Only the most eccentric prophets

Glimpse truth’s heart of eccentricity,
The great, aperiodic crystal
At the core of the final black hole.
