Paean

A level of style consciousness that’s foreign to me;

She’s blonde, with brown roots, about 30 years old, pretty, with a long face.

She has four items that seem not self-consciously selected: white Beats headphones, a black canvas backpack, and two phones – an iPhone and an Android.

Otherwise? She’s all brown.

A brown herringbone jacket.

A brown ribbed cotton turtleneck.

Brown silk slacks, loose and baggy.

Brown leather boots with points and heels.

Her eyes are bright blue, but even her lipstick is brown.

She sits looking at the Vogue Web site on her Android, on the subway.
