He probably has a plain black
baseball cap (where do people even
buy those?) and one of those pollution masks
that are so vogue in smogged-up asia; or if it’s a historical
drama, he definitely has black bangs over
his eyes,
and probably a bit of a scar
and (of course) beautiful dark eyes, lightly smeared
with makeup. It is the eyes that will hold
me, because they have razed the universe under red dawns
and then turned to soft fog at twilight,
rain coming in pretty clouds when the stick-thin
actress with the too-big eyes
bites her lip and takes his hand and decides that
this boy is worth saving after all.
