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: Is Johnson morbidly romantic?

W: Hello?
M: Something's wrong.
W: What's wrong?
M: Johnson is not about to let this person into the room.
W: Who's Johnson?
M: Why would you want such a morbidly romantic thing?
W: Is Johnson morbidly romantic?
M: Many of them don't know how to read music.
W: But they are Romantic composers anyway?
M: Not in the way you mean.
W: Well, they could be Neo-Romantics.
M: You had better make it a decaf.
W: Do I sound wound up?
M: The whole civilization is convulsing, let's hope it's birth pangs instead of death throes.
W: Clenching spasms!
M: For example, Wake Up Mr. Sleepy, Your Unconscious Mind is Dead.
W: A stillborn mind would be a terrible thing to wake up to.
M: It was just startling for a second.
W: And then they all got on with their lives.
M: Were they fascinating?
W: Some were, some weren't.
M: This is painful, this being left alone.
W: Temple Grandin says that social contact is a core need.
M: This is logic speaking, but not the soul, which is on fire.
W: I hope the fire is modulated.
M: This is nothing, called life.
W: Some people think nothing is a good thing.
M: I'm not out to establish some mathematical basis.
W: OK, let's not have a standard philosophical discussion.
M: Do I sound wound up?
W: You mean, like a mechanical toy?
M: Well?
W: Well, I guess she isn't coming.
M: Temple Grandin says that social contact is a core need.
W: So we can all get very disappointed if our hoped-for visitors don't show up.
M: What morsel?
W: A morsel of happiness, consumed in silence.
M: The inspired part.
W: Breathed in.
M: Does anything hurt?
W: Yes, it hurts all the time.
M: A kind of anti-sponge.
W: Repelling that which is painful.
M: I don't remember him.
