Observation


His eyes look slow, sluggish, and unfocused. A glimpse would capture his visage dewy; upon closer reflection it is a sheen of perspiration from sedentary activity. His blazer appears to conform to his rounded shoulders like a shrunken cardigan. 

He will grow into his blazer, and his bad haircut. 

A protuberance escapes the vertical lines of an intentional shirt choice.

His complexion would have once suggested lively engagement in the outdoors, now merely reddish from losing a race up the stairs to a Domino’s box. 

His teeth remain as perfectly white as memory would allow against a once tender, now merely swollen, chapped mouth.
