You Local Reversal of Universal Rule

You’re probably here and alive
Thanks to black holes getting bigger.
Every time they swallow something,
Their event horizon expands,

While elsewhere the entropy shrinks
Slightly, in a balancing act
Believed to keep the flight of time
The straight arrow it’s always been.

This probably doesn’t matter
Too much to you, personally.
You’ve more important things to do
Than give black holes your gratitude.

You do. Sure, you do. But maybe
Pause to consider such patterns
In the cosmos all around you.
Black holes grow, whatever you do.
