Cold Clear Light Of Day

Pollexfen had once been a “desk rebel”, but had put those clothes away as he aged and moved in a finer society. He met a friend’s niece one day, and was flattered and favorably impressed to see that she was dressed much as he had been wont to do. Penyez (for such was her name) soon got together a band and named it “Cold Clear Light of Day”, and would stand on the stage calmly enumerating the misdeeds of all her immediate forbears, dressed in the very shirts that they had worn. This impressed and delighted Pollexfen, who soon brought his influential friends. Shocked at first, they would sit together wordless at a cafe table and listen and watch. Soon enough: the band was in the newspapers and Penyez was a known quotable.
