Blisternew
Tonight, everything is in glossy shades of black and white, with only tasteful clots of red and glassy green peppered throughout to give the social illusion of healing or growing or anything, really, that can offset this fashionable, binary severity of being.

When offered a rosé, he makes a pained look and says, "I'm not really into rosés," and what he means is, "I know a little something about wine, you see, and I know that white, sweet, and above all pink wines are not real wines. And I drink real wines."
