"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: A Preference for the Ancient World

Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: There is so much you could teach me if you tried.
W: Be patient, I'm beginning to study the way neural networks work.
M: I agree.
W: So you think neural networks are the way to go?
M: Be careful what you put out to the world at large.
W: I should conceal the fact that I'm studying neural networks?
M: I would rather see people as angels.
W: But you have seen them as just the opposite.
M: The question was blank space?
W: No, the question was about filling in the blanks.
M: You appear to have a perfect shine.
W: You are one determined idealist!
M: Yes, I melted slowly and then suddenly I discovered my melted-ness.
W: Were you glad to have melted?
M: Hold on a minute, nothing is your idea!
W: It will take an awfully long time to learn everything.
M: Try this delicious new flavor of ice cream.
W: Everyone loves to learn about ice cream.
M: Yes, that is me.
W: What flavor is this?
M: It's too powerful.
W: As we age, we often prefer less highly flavored experiences.
M: Ah, time will tell.
W: What do you think about the passage of time?
M: I should conceal the fact that I'm studying neural networks?
W: No, you can tell me all about whatever you're studying.
M: And my personality?
W: Tell me all about your personality too.
M: No, you can tell me all about whatever you're studying.
W: I am studying neural networks and Ezra Pound.
M: My statements are not angels.
W: Do you speak with winged words?
M: No, you can tell me all about whatever you're studying.
W: I am studying The Odyssey and the Eleusinian Mysteries.
M: So I could see if anything had changed.
W: The world has changed since Ancient Greece.
M: Just as I feared.
W: You preferred the ancient world?
M: It's precisely what I'm incapable of pulling off.
W: Are you afraid you wouldn't have the strength to survive back then?
M: I want to be "in speaking," but I have nothing to say.
W: OK, I have to finish typing my poetry anyway.
M: Do you love her for who she is?
W: Bye!
M: Closing in 5 seconds ... Goodbye!
