from the sketchbook – 6.
“this is the beautiful boy in blue, loved by men and women alike. he works in retail and wears a blue plaid shirt whenever he goes to work. people come into the store just to see him, to steal passing glances and maybe even spark a conversation. they come to the store to bask in his beauty. sometimes he asks them how they’re doing, but that’s just his job. really, he couldn’t care less. he barely even notices them. coveted by all, he wants no one; he is just there, existing, doing his job. blessed and cursed – what a waste, what a waste.”
