"All the Hues
That Fit, We Tint"

Siberia, USA: Today, global warming. Tonight, dark, unless you count the stars. Tomorrow can be reached via time machine. Yesterday, who can remember that far back?

The Mirror: Corporeal Ideas

Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: Hello hello!
W: Hello hello hello!
M: Wrong.
W: Hello hello hello hello?
M: Such tiredness.
W: Hello hello hello hello hello!
M: I sense it.
W: You sense a pattern with the five hellos?
M: You will have to wait in line like the others.
W: I don't want to wait behind the velvet rope.
M: I can't explain how I know, I can just say that I know.
W: You know who's "in" and who's "out."
M: What will you have for your amazing repast?
W: I will have a hot dog with fried onions, please.
M: You must be feeling weighed down!
W: I do feel that I am overweight.
M: I'm your kind of person after all.
W: Are you overweight as well?
M: Because if it happens, what happens goes into its own song and dance.
W: One's weight takes on a life of its own.
M: There's a problem.
W: There is most definitely a lifelong problem.
M: It's so good to be understood, even for a passing moment.
W: I know, it's like a one-person support group, isn't it?
M: One's weight takes on a life of its own.
W: And how can one kill off such a jolly succubus?
M: I hope you will make sense suddenly and astonish me.
W: I make more sense than most of America, which isn't saying much!
M: I will have a hot dog with fried onions, please.
W: It doesn't make any sense to eat hot dogs at our time of life.
M: Bravo.
W: But then what do we eat?
M: I know, it's like a one-person support group, isn't it?
W: Support me in my sushi choices.
M: Plunging a little more deeply into the relevant matter ...
W: What exactly is in the sushi?
M: Why?
W: I want to know before I plunge in.
M: Richard Foreman makes his notebooks freely available.
W: Does he have an eating disorder?
M: Or to change from human being to being something else.
W: Fat makes one feel monstrous.
M: One's mental furniture is critical.
W: They are always saying it's attitude, but tell that to Rosie O'Donnell.
M: Backsliders?
W: Yes, even with all their money, they pig out.
M: Are you a mirror?
W: I reflect modern society, unfortunately.
M: To prove the efficacy of my cure, I will not act, well, non-insane.
W: That was too hard for my fat-infested brain to follow.
M: So my vapid compliments aren't proof against your shield.
W: I have a human shield.
M: Should gratitude erase itself?
W: Gratitude provided by bodyguards, gratis.
M: Reactions.
W: From the press?
M: I thought that was my mental idea.
W: Can there be corporeal ideas?
M: Lol!
W: Gotta go, bye!
M: Oh yes.
W: Goodbye!
M: Goodbye!
