Times Squared

It was the best
	of the New York Times.
It was the worst
	of the New York Times.

But honey,
I can't meet the president.
I forgot to charge
My toothbrush.
Must we offend
	with halitosis 
In these abundant times?

She didn't answer,
Because she only exists
	in my imagination,
And doesn't need
	further explanation.
