blue.red.yellow.

The two of them looked like a color theory lesson standing on the platform against the yellowing tiles of the subway -- he in his blue oxford shirt, the one with the collar stays, and she in her red coat. Add his dark features and they were a study in contrast, too. The photograph was taken seconds before the final train uptown by the fellow with the poorly tuned violin. He had been squeaking his way through the subway system, one unharmonious symphony at a time.
