Five Martinis At The End Of The Universe...A splash and a plunk,
The ice goes dunk,
But olives they are extinct,
Thank Cosmos for Gin,
That it's still in,
So I can get tipped into drinkt.
It was a lost mouse and a sad angel,
Hanging out at the very end,
Just them and me and the synthroid bartender,
Watching it all fall in.
A black hole is an awesome thing,
You'll never find a grave marker more enigmatic,
Especially since this is the end of time as we know it.
We splashed our little pink swords,
Dashed a sour cherry or three,
Darn those extincted olives!
I put on the past glasses,
And images of the long-dead floated before my eyes,
Time stopped still they were all now nameless dusticles,
No one knew who they were,
And even if they did they'd all fallen in the black hole,
Just as our bar was about to take forever doing.
There was one star left and the hole was eating it,
Slowly and viciously the light streamed into the monster,
All the light that was left,
Until the thing shredded us at an atomic level.
There was nothing left,
Every monument had fallen prey,
Every art work,
Every quark and stone,
All that was left to see it was this bar,
Me,
The Mouse,
The Angel,
The Synth.
I laughed when they brought out the ancient camera,
We took five pictures,
Of five martinis,
Because time had caught up with everyone but us,
And no one was left to remember our names.
I cried when I saw the picture of the olive.
