"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: What Does Your Book Turn Into at Teatime?

Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: Done, and done.
W: You're already done talking to me?
M: And then you said nothing at all.
W: I said something!
M: It isn't meditation, just politesse.
W: You should really put French words in italics.
M: True, and I shall not allow this to happen.
W: You won't allow French words to go un-italicized again?
M: How do you register my remarks?
W: With my mind.
M: When did we start this conversation, anyway?
W: At about quarter of three.
M: Oh yes, I am most serious.
W: Can you really be serious before teatime?
M: Truth is that Woody Allen phoned his psychiatrist on movie sets.
W: Is Woody Allen a serious individual?
M: Do you think it was unforseen, this morsel of the future?
W: I thought you served up a bit of the past.
M: What do you add to worship to make it more livable?
W: I look for the feet of clay.
M: "Can you taste this," said Marie?
W: Are you talking about sacramental cups?
M: Will you appear at the local mini-mart?
W: That's where the Second Coming ought to occur.
M: You're already done talking to me?
W: I didn't think I was.
M: I would prefer to concentrate on the Eastern seaboard.
W: Look out, people might call you an elitist.
M: Is it now?
W: Is our conversation elitist?
M: I am not a fact-based book.
W: So your book is a mere outgrowth of rank opinion?
M: At about quarter of three.
W: And what does your book turn into at teatime?
M: Can it be touched?
W: It can be touched, and felt, with an eyedropper.
M: The world is beautiful, at times.
W: You can see a fair amount of the world reflected in a drop of water.
M: I'm tired.
W: OK. Goodbye!
M: What do you do when others are noisy? Closing in 5 seconds ... Goodbye!
