Fisheye photograph in hard high sun, very close, straight lines bowing and the building tops leaning inward. A beautiful man with a strong jaw, high cheekbones and a shaved head, an adult, at a launderette front with a shearling-cuffed hand holding a paper cup held forward and filling the lower half of the frame, bowing into a dome, the figure behind it mid-frame and any bystanders small enough to read as texture. Mirror-chrome knee boots · beaded or sequinned bodice · a mirrored visor. Deep blue sky with crisp white cloud above, crisp small shadows. A flush worked across both sockets, the cheeks and the nose bridge as one continuous field. A coloured contact lens changing the iris. Deadpan absurdity — a mundane act performed with total ceremony, the subject unimpressed and entirely straight-faced.
