the body

a body one might consider to be slim; but one man's skinny is another man's "not enough".

a slender neck and visible enough collarbones — maybe chest bones too if you squint. a mousy face and a mousy disposition. weird, but not the cool kind of weird. believe it or not, could be fine-boned beneath all that flabby flesh. possesses the mannerisms of a slender, regal soul — polite character, and a voice that can be as sharp as a sword or as soft as a secret. a smile like a sting-ray. slender, delicate wrists. fingers reddened with excoriation and bite marks, as if they were exposed to winter air. cannot keep a consistent nail colour due to near constant chipping and bending. leathery and worn, rosy and limp.

a bunch of numbers. the body is a bunch of numbers.
