I Can't Wait Until the Resurrection By David Halliday I can’t wait until the resurrection and CNN runs out of news. Teeth are brighter. Towels have more bounce. Godzilla makes restitution to Tokyo. Snow is declared one of the seven miracles of the world. America runs out of bullets. Gay marriages are finally recognized as the real cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs. Bankers are forced to crawl through the eye of a needle. Friedrich Nietzsche gets his own talk show. Quebec secedes from itself. Computers are given the right to vote. Recycling becomes a national craze and liposuction becomes mandatory for all patrons of fast food restaurants. I can’t wait until the resurrection and highways are paved over with grass. The assassins of John Kennedy return from their tour of Orion and Taurus. Louis Armstrong is canonized. Elvis retires from his job as a greeter at Walmart. Someone comes up with a cure for progress. And poets are forced to climb down off their high horses and clean up the shit they’ve left on the road behind them. |
