Darkness envelops the house, tightening its gloved grip. It squeezes conversation out of us 'till we're asphyxiated with superficiality. The smell of bayberry scented candles waft up into the still, humid air, enticing us with their seductive tendrils. Children drift on clouds of candy-coated dreams, oblivious to the strangle-hold of solitude encroached upon us. Soft candlelight reflects on virtue awaiting violation. Contemplation causes momentary furrowing of baby brows... restless dreams, a sense of impending uncertainty. Innocence prevails; soft skin smoothes, relaxes; dreams of ponies and rainbows return. Oh, to be young again... Inhaling breaths of ambiguity, we struggle for composure. All pretenses torn from our grasp, we're forced to acknowledge our frail existence, awkward silence ensuing... Then our savior, Dennis Miller returns, delivering us once again from our humanity. |
