Sinister: An Ink(?) Polaroid

[Ricky HAGGETT]

Thinking of Sarah's ink polaroid of rain and cars..

A creased photo of Ricky standing at the entrace to Euston Square Tube station 
as commutors pour around him into their busy lives. He is gazing through the 
smog and drizzle down Gower Street, towards college and normality, BT's 
Telecom Tower, well, towering above everything, cutting a swathe of gaudy 
colour through the hues of mottled grey like nothing else in sight. Ricky 
wears tatty jeans, the blue cartoon Belle and Sebastian t-shirt (that his 
girlfriend ordered him for his birthday from the web site at fantastically 
short notice - cheers), and a somewhat dejected expression. His hair is damp 
and he looks kinda like the boy on the t-shirt. He turns away from the rush of 
traffic, and trudges back down the stairs into the tube, turning his walkman 
up to drown the noise of trains. The intro to Photo Jenny glides effortlessly 
up into the street.

(who is at college, a bit depressed, and who still thinks seventeen was a 
better age to be)
