Sinister: skin.

[Kirsten Kenyon]

  hello
   what a strange week this has been.  monday morning i half-
heartedly rolled out of my bed and trudged to my drawing class.  
barely awake, i found myself in the elevator with a curious-looking 
man.  it may have been his odd beaded leather jacket or the spooky 
look he gave me...he caught my attention immediately.  when i arrived 
at my classroom, i sat down and began arranging my materials and 
waiting for the professor to set up a still-life composed of crumpled 
paper towels and toilet paper rolls, as he had done nearly every 
period thus far.  i set up my drawing board, popped tigermilk into my 
discman, grabbed a conte, and looked up to see the creepy elevator 
man standing naked in the center of the room.  his expression was 
stoic, his entire body was hairless, and he was holding a four-foot 
wooden rod in his extended left arm so that he looked something like 
a middle-aged poseidon in spectacles. his name was jerry.  (i rather 
wished we had not been told his name...it was just all too personal 
when the professor said things like "why not try one bending over 
this time, jerry"...and especially when jerry came outside for a 
smoke with us during the break.) i know that as an aspiring artist i 
must be professional about such things---under normal circumstances i 
am quite fond of nudity, and i am grateful to jerry for his services--
-but it's easy to be a bit put-off when you're expecting balls of 
paper and instead find a strange man's naked hairless bottom staring 
you in the face at eight-thirty on monday morning.
