Only the eyes stay clean. – one held object doing the introducing – the venue flattened to pattern behind the head – a creed band across the foot: short sentences, bullet-separated, the rules of the night Swaps: host / two-word headline / trade pattern / held object / venue / the creed Cut the job into the face.
