There's glitter on the floor after the party
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
You and me, forevermore

It wasn't originally constitutionally required, but presidents who served two terms have traditionally followed George Washington's example and gotten false teeth.
2024 [Explained]
Transcript Under the Cut
[Ponytail and Cueball are walking.]
Ponytail: So this is 2024.
Cueball: Guess it's an election year now.
Ponytail: Again? Man, those just keep happening, huh?
[Ponytail and Cueball now standing.]
Ponytail: Who's the president these days, anyway? Is it still Obama?
Cueball: What? No? he hasn't been... How do you not...
[Ponytail and Cueball still standing.]
Ponytail: Darn, I liked him. Is he running this time?
Cueball: No, he's not allowed to. Ponytail: He's not? Why?
Cueball: Constitution.
[Ponytail checks her smartphone.]
Phone: Amendment 22
Phone: No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice
Ponytail: What?? C'mon...
[Ponytail talking to Cueball.]
Ponytail: Don't all your cells get replaced every seven years, Ship of Theseus-style? Is he even the same person?
Ponytail: Maybe "no person shall be elected more than twice" isn't a prohibition, it's more of an observation, like "you can't step in the same river twice."
[Zoom in on Cueball.]
Cueball: Isn't the cell thing a myth?
Cueball: I think tooth enamel has a turnover half-life of 30+ years. His teeth molecules are probably the same.
[Ponytail heads off with a finger raised.]
Ponytail: So if Obama just gets false teeth, he can run again! I need to talk to a dentist and a lawyer!
Cueball: The Supreme Court is about to vote 9-0 to block your number.

I love this time – the in-between time, the time after all the gatherings and lights, the time before we swing back into the regular routines of the new year. It is the crack between the worlds, the place where dreaming can unfold and then spiral into being quickly and quietly. It is a place where, if we want them to, solitude and silence can surround us and the soul-hungers we have abandoned can find us once again. It is a time to listen deeply, to stay with stillness open to the impulse to move from the deepest part of what we are.
