THE METAPHYSICS OF GOODNESS

A few days later, I got a text, one of those invitations which are understood to be contingent upon delivery of an appropriate quantity of alcohol.

There were a lot of parties at Westing.

They were all the same party, in a way.

The same faces. The same rooms and apartments. The same AwayWeTunes.

The guy who sent me the invite, Raj Karesh, was vaguely cute.

I needed to stop thinking about Zach.

I needed to stop using Alice to make myself feel better.

So for a while, I skipped out on Polo Club.

I AwayWeWatched a lot of movies on my laptop. Homeless children being rounded up and harvested for their dreams. A world government that ends war, poverty, crime by implanting everyone with chips that monitor their behavior and location at all times.

I spent nights trying to catch Raj, who proved elusive.

On Christmas night I arrived at Galloway 407 armed with ample volumes of eggnog, and was welcomed like a hero, and drank like a hero while the DJ alternated between shitty songs from MaxBeats and shitty songs from the Farsiders—at one point I got up on a chair. It wobbled under my feet as I spoke:

“If I am to be harvested to save the life of some Columbia professor of art history living in SoHo or NoHo or MoFo, then the least I can do is pass along some cirrhosis as well.”
