The Crushing Complexity of the Colorless City
Crooked, crowded, callous: c’est la city! Converse with commas and colons in this convention of the conformists, the cultured class, the commercialized, and other clear-headed, charitable citizens! Chitchat with the très chic children of the cafés: the career-driven, the connoisseurs, the champions, the celebrated celebrities! Come cultivate your cynicism by considering the contemptible complicity of this generation of crooked critters in the most curious culture of competition and criticism. Contend with chimeras of contentment and camaraderie, with comical illusions of compassion and capability. Cross off everything else, don’t cringe in disgust nor cower in bad faith: this cul-de-sac wants you, only you — come!
