Times Never Change

I gaze at the brilliant full moon. The same one, I think to
myself, at which Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato gazed.
Suddenly, I imagine they appear beside me.

I tell Socrates about the national debate over one's right
to die and wonder at the constancy of the human condition.

I tell Plato that I live in the country that has come
closest to Utopia and I show him a copy of the Constitution.

I tell Aristotle that we have found many more than four
basic elements and I show him a periodic table.

Then I get a box of kitchen matches and strike one. They
gasp with wonder. We spend the rest of the night lighting
farts.
