Waist-up. A chubby young man with pale skin, freckles across his round cheeks, and soft blond hair stands at a bus stop in light snow, both hands buried in the front pocket of a huge mustard knit sweater stretched over his belly, a knitted scarf wrapped twice around his neck, the end caught by the wind. He watches the snowflakes with a small crooked smile, cheeks and nose flushed pink, breath fogging faintly, snowflakes caught in his lashes and hair. A canvas messenger bag slung across his chest, headphones on his head. Cool blue-gray winter light from the front, soft flat shadows, the red of a distant traffic light reflecting faintly on his cheek. The mood is quiet and gentle.
