Quartet for the End of Time: A Poem

"Quartet for the End of Time" -- A Poem

by Melissa-Mindy Trump-Hilton

Four pieces of baloney
sent through a time machine
becomes bologna.
But it's still a pork product.

What Wittgenstein failed to say
is that a good "Late Show" monologue
begins when Dave compares two things
that have never been compared before.

Four rubber bands
twisted tightly in a good airplane
is enough to get you there.
