Ftrain, by Paul Ford

People have been very encouraging about my weight loss. Here's a photo in side profile. Look at the narrow hips, the definition in the clavicle, the daintiness about the wrists. Gravity has no dominion over such a specimen; he's made all of spun glass and fairysilk. He's a dancer, you might think. If not dancer, then model. If not model then elf. And when he leaps he is like a pronking springbok.

I have much to learn.
