The Importance of Earrings

I could vaguely see them in my head yelling at each other on Cortell you fucking try me. Or he bought her a horrendous gift for her birthday. They why my focus on birthdays to pairs of earrings from Macy's neither close to her style, the doubling of the gift compounding the injury worse than forgetting. The anger and the alcohol, how they were under the remorse, influenced these projections as did various indefensible inferences I made based on the timbre of his voice. But the earrings were so vivid, felt like signals I was picking up through the stereotypes we have so many senses.
