Excerpts from a poem by Dan Propper.

In the 7th minute of the final hour a monstrous orgy took place in the main office of the New York Times after which a colossal hardcover edition was brought out containing all the news that had never been fit to print;

In the 9th minute of the final hour three psychiatrists engaged in subliminal copulation with a colour television set;

In the 10th minute of the final hour the Daughters of the American Revolution applied lipsticks to their cunts and mascara to their pubic hairs. Contemplating their handiwork, they decided to sign up for correspondence courses in ventriloquism;

In the 45th minute of the final hour there was an abundance of nakedness and hopeful uncertainty;

In the 46th minute of the final hour the first transparent clothing was worn out of doors;

In the 47th minute of the final hour prostitution became unnecessary;

In the 48th minute of the final hour all of the road signs were altered to read "GO";

In the 49th minute of the final hour all women's magazines were turned into semen;

In the 50th minute of the final hour the Boy Scouts joined with the Girl Scouts in a new era of joy and experimentation;

In the 57th minute of the final hour the cash register was abolished;

And in the 60th minute of the final hour America was discovered and the final renaissance of beauty and love began its eternity.
