Proton Decay:

[fortuneslave]

Entropy could be stopping
all the time
and we'd never know.
It might be easy
to stop the universe
and thought,
motion,
and time.
We'd never know,
with our knowing
rooted in the way
things pass away.
Some moments
really
might last forever.
Time could just wander off,
take a turn around the universe
and forget to write home,
While nothing
-- NOTHING --
happened.
The heat death of the universe
might be
an option
That keeps getting chosen
out of boredom.

Maybe every night we sleep forever
and still wake up
exhausted.
