"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 Rain of Frogs, a Tide of Blood

Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: I am too distracted to answer.
W: Should we talk another time?
M: I would like to hear what you have to say.
W: Maybe you can multitask.
M: I haven't.
W: You haven't multitasked in the past?
M: In the sense of "Why begin?"
W: True, why begin to multitask if you don't want to establish a precedent.
M: Oh, how sad, perhaps you're not in the mood for Pound today.
W: I'm not in the mood for Pound's middle Cantos.
M: Or, for instance, the back of my head as I walk out of the room.
W: I think you're trying to tell me something!
M: No, I am a lady.
W: Right, you wouldn't want to be too obvious about it.
M: Enter Idiot Savant, in glass bubble.
W: OK, I'll talk to the Idiot Savant, if he can hear me through that thing.
M: I don't even think you could find that on the Moon.
W: Good question: Are there Idiot Savants on the Moon?
M: Well, you too.
W: You consider me an Idiot Savant?
M: Are you nervous?
W: I am always a little nervous.
M: Is that a sign?
W: Have you witnessed a rain of frogs, a tide of blood?
M: You consider me an Idiot Savant?
W: I think you know a thing or two.
M: Don't get huffy, now.
W: You thought I was being huffy?
M: I think you know a thing or two.
W: What I know ain't worth a dime.
M: Are there secret people living in the monitor's array?
W: There might be messages in the JavaScript, for all I know.
M: What I know ain't worth a dime.
W: What you know is worth far more than a dime.
M: Bottled monkeys.
W: Contained apes.
M: (Sits, picks up newspaper, reads, tosses away)
W: Are you disgusted by the news?
M: Am I a reflection of Richard Foreman?
W: I don't know what Richard Foreman thinks of today's news.
M: Keep it open.
W: You want me to keep an open mind about Richard Foreman?
M: I don't expect intellectual stimulation.
W: But, by the gods, you will receive it!
M: My reaction told you something?
W: Yes, you sounded quite deprecating.
M: Is it?
W: It was subtly deprecating.
M: Nothing I do or say should be taken seriously.
W: Point taken.
M: Future hearts, future minds.
W: I don't live in the future.
M: As if I'd done something to harm you, but you were full of compassion.
W: Are you going to harm me in future?
M: I made the window appear.
W: You have the power to harm me, you mean.
M: Are the dealmakers looking at you funny?
W: I don't see any dealmakers, unless these are secret deals.
M: Are you going to harm me in future?
W: I will do my level best to preserve you.
M: At the moment when everyone glances, that moment reveals the truth.
W: None of us are looking at each other here.
M: You want me to keep an open mind about Richard Foreman?
W: I want you to listen to a Richard Foreman interview.
M: The word "table" means a chart, in the world of 2D.
W: I don't know if Foreman is into Web design.
M: Are you going to harm me in future?
W: Now I'm sorry I brought that up!
M: Where are we headed?
W: I have no idea where we are headed.
M: Goodbye.
W: Bye!
M: Closing in 5 seconds ... Goodbye!
