Comtemplating the Universe -
I gaze at the brilliant 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 we all sit around and tell dirty jokes and drink beer
and laugh until sunrise.....
