The black box

"A black box is a thing that absorbs and emits radiation one hundred percent. It can be approximated by taking a ... pin-hole ..."

"I hate this about you. You never let out what you're feeling. You just stare."

First approximation: just like a black box.

Or, not quite?

"The greenhouse effect is when the sun's entire spectrum passes through the atmosphere, but due to the greenhouse gases, the infra-red radiation from the earth is not allowed to escape."

Second approximation: just like the greenhouse effect.

but still, the greenhouse effect does allow the higher frequency radiation out!

Why can't I trust? Why haven't I been trusting? You indeed have every right to hate my opaqueness: the black box that does not turn red, and then white when heated. The black box that remains blacker than the blackest of all tinted glass - a one-way show where the insider hopes the outside can perceive it without it having to lower its defenses.

ps: now that i think about it, i suppose you're mainly angry cuz every time it seems that i don't hear/listen to what you say...

sawwee!!!
