Retrospective in Nothing

Cold jockeys and a cheque

Months pass before the twenty five dollar cheque arrives from the University of South Australia. Early May, reaching the Lidcombe campus of the University of Sydney at an ankle cracking pace thirty minutes past due, scene of a weekend body shape survey.

Stripping down to the cold, standing around for the markers to hold, watching lasers run from head to toe. Ten seconds in the total scan, twenty minutes for the entire attention span. Months pass. And then the cheque arrives. There to join the still and video of a spinning, near-naked man.
