Through the Looking-Glass (W’s roadtrip)
The W’s are playing this season in reverse. They began in harmony and now are frayed.
So reading this season is like playing “I Am the Walrus” backwards in order to ferret out occult meaning. The W’s are playing Act 1 now. They began the season playing Act 3.
The Walrus and the Carpenter Walked on a mile or so, And then they rested on a rock Conveniently low: And all the little Oysters stood And waited in a row. The easy thing to peg is injury. But injury’s made Memphis and Phoenix stronger. It’s like blood-doping. Remove a pint of blood. Let the system reconstitute itself. And then re-transfuse the missing element. Bingo. Boosted, not weaker, now.
