About the piece

The piece’s original working title was Entropy.

Entropy
en·tro·py /entr!pē/
noun

1. the degree of disorder or randomness in the system
2. the general trend of the universe toward death and disorder

But in more colloquial terms, everything is just a holy mess. We are all a holy mess. This piece is about the struggle to fight this.
