The Exchange



Will they meet in Singapore,
Trump with his VERY, VERY Big Macs,
Little Rocket Man
with his plate of noodles,
and each each with their buttons?

Will they will exchange gifts,
Trump offering geraniums,
Un a basket of rose petals
or a ticking parcel
of enriched metals?
  
Will they hammer out a deal  
to meet again,
to keep the earth alive till then?
Might Un go to Mar-a-Lago,
lose a game of golf and announce
“The deal’s a no-go” ?

This may be the end.
The afterglow will keep space warm
for millennia or more,
the most incandescent  tribute
to screwed up science
the universe has seen.
