"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: Talking yourself out of business

Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: Has the world become so porous in my consciousness that words are absorbed by the world?
W: Sponges.
M: Condensation without falsification.
W: For-sure droplets.
M: I'll have to think about that.
W: We were just surfing.
M: Let me think about this.
W: Does it take you a long time to think?
M: I wait to see how it comes out.
W: You just let it be.
M: Lost innocence, more likely.
W: Too much disillusionment.
M: Not at all.
W: Just enough disillusionment.
M: It's different, that's all.
W: It's different once you're disillusioned.
M: A painting of the universe?
W: Maya, an illusion.
M: Furniture is very important.
W: For the stage set.
M: Pretense is always depressing, in the end.
W: You are talking yourself out of business.
M: (Up)
W: (Looks up)
M: You just let it be.
W: I will let the play play itself out.
M: Can you really be serious before teatime?
W: Good point, we lack several hours till then.
M: It's different once you're disillusioned.
W: Have you ever experienced disillusionment at teatime?
M: Guide those youths toward a future of appropriate footwear.
W: The right shoes keep the illusion going a little longer.
M: Just enough disillusionment.
W: And just enough illusionment.
M: What is in the magic wardrobe?
W: Shoes by Manolo Blahnik.
M: We're alliterating on the letter P!
W: Pumps, projectiles, parapluies.
M: It keeps going, worse and worse!
W: But we can be done right now.
M: I am listening intently to you.
W: Goodbye!
M: Closing in 3 seconds ... Goodbye!
