What if there really is a whole
different world through that looking glass. Touch it! Did it give way
like it did for Neo in The Matrix? No? Me neither. But we need
to keep trying because the day may come when we can press our way
through the mirror to a whole new world where the laws of physics are
totally rewritten and we not longer need fear the sublime and
surreptitious which are replaced by the surreal and salacious. Don't
you wish there was a world where we all could keep the bodies we once
had as the 20-something who never really appreciated how good they
had it? Or perhaps we want a world where the things that make no
sense here are perfectly sensible like Congress, the DMV, the
popularity of Elmo, the fact that the names for asteroids and
hemorrhoids are meant to be exchanged, and the meaning of 2001: A
Space Odyssey. Really! who was the old guy eating at the end of
that movie? Please mirror world explain that movie to me because I
have been wondering for three decades and have lost some sleep over
it. Yes, I know I need a life.
OK. Here is the plan. We all try to
find a way into that other world on the other side of the mirror. At
precisely 8:13pm eastern time we all put our mirrors on the floor and
chant the mysterious mirror mantra, “Mirror, mirror on the ground,
let us squares be something round.” Then do the dance of a thousand
dirty socks while playing “It's Hip to Be Square” by Huey Lewis
and the News on a kazoo as your wiggle your left ear. I know it is a
lot to ask but we need to see what's on the other side.
Wait a sec. I just Googled it. Never
mind. It's just silver under glass. Oh well. It was worth a try and I
got a blog out of it.
