in an alternate universe somewhere, shadows are dancing around impersonating us. our alternate plans, forgotten intentions, the night's possibilities have escaped and, completely full of themselves, are masquerading around in our absence. they're imposters, thieves, demons in the piece. my foiled plans have assembled, decided they don't need me, and travelled around the world in my place. but shadows are flimsy. they're not exactly known for their mental prowess (how else would they make it around the world except by getting lost at every turn?) so don't expect much in the way of conversation. sure, they want to hear about your trials and tribulations, the directions home, the meaning of life, the secret to eternal youth, who killed jfk (they're really not listening anymore), but wouldn't it be so much better to just make love on the beach in maui?
