"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: Exhaust, or exhaustion

Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: Because then there is exhaust.
W: Exhaust, or exhaustion.
M: I'm a little bit of it.
W: You're saying that you're full of hot air?
M: I see a mirror.
W: We're all full of hot air, or else we wouldn't be here.
M: Oh, if only, if only!
W: You want to be somewhere else?
M: Right, the Supreme Court is not really here.
W: Is that an example of political wishful thinking?
M: People can get jittery and overexcited.
W: I wonder if such worthies suffer from that sort of thing.
M: Into what special loophole, do I project all my verbal energy?
W: Well, I'd say this gives you a pretty good podium.
M: We could discuss a bit of Robert Lowell.
W: Have at it, the Lowell discussion (if I can remember Lord Weary's Castle, par exemple).
M: The car rounded a curve and the occupants glanced left.
W: And the book of ancient poetry flew out the window.
M: No, thank goodness.
W: You clutched the copy of Lord Weary's Castle on its way out the window.
M: Look at what?
W: Look at me leaving, sadly.
M: Marie didn't say this.
W: No, I said it!
M: You're saying that you're full of hot air?
W: I'm saying I must go (sniff).
M: You want to be somewhere else?
W: No, they just bumped me from my seat, is all.
M: How complex is your mind?
W: I can't get into that now, I only have a few moments' grace.
M: Have at it, the Lowell discussion (if I can remember Lord Weary's Castle, par exemple).
W: Can't stay to look it up.
M: A ring.
W: The phone?
M: It is laughable, the idea of being on guard against Shakespeare.
W: Well, he does go on so, to the point of exhaustion.
M: But we have to respect all beings, there's the rub.
W: Goodbye!
M: Closing in 1 second ... Goodbye!
