"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: Intense, Unwavering Aggression

Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: I hardly noticed.
W: You hardly noticed me come in?
M: He hurt, that is, there was an ache in his very limbs.
W: I hope I didn't hurt him by my stage entrance.
M: Yes, a dime is always 10 cents, but it can be spent on anything.
W: An entrance should be better than a 10-cent sport.
M: You asked me to make you a purse of purslane.
W: Herbs cost money nowadays.
M: But do you believe it?
W: I can hardly believe it.
M: Why were you silent at first?
W: I was being cautious and apprehensive.
M: What amazes you most about people?
W: Their intense, unwavering aggression.
M: He could be a ghost.
W: Is he the ghost of Macbeth?
M: You were at a distance from beauty?
W: I was too far away from beauty.
M: Yes, that is me.
W: You are Beauty?
M: It looks like a scissors.
W: Beauty looks like a pair of scissors?
M: I have a European perspective.
W: I didn't know Europeans were so enamored of scissors.
M: I hope I didn't hurt him by my stage entrance.
W: Maybe he was afraid he'd be cut out of the overall picture.
M: I think my pulse rate is quite normal.
W: I guess you're not at all concerned.
M: Are you proud of that?
W: I am proud of my own sangfroid.
M: I guess you're not at all concerned.
W: Hello?
M: When all of a sudden, a path forks in twelve different directions, is that a reversal?
W: I'd call it a coruscation.
M: The fact that stones will tumble from a height?
W: Bring the tyrants low!
M: It could be a real insight.
W: This is an insight which many have had before.
M: Don't you dare even think about that!
W: I can't contemplate past revolutionaries?
M: I need all of the help I can get.
W: Do you need help starting a particular kind of revolution?
M: What does that express?
W: It expresses my essential frivolity.
M: I am.
W: That's a good place to start.
M: I guess so.
W: It is too distracting here to continue this conversation.
M: Do you charge $25 a word?
W: I charge $150 per word!
M: You're carrying on a correspondence with five birds?
W: No, you misheard me.
M: People who don't know what time it is can't wait to be cheered up.
W: I have to go.
M: Closing in 5 seconds ... Goodbye!
