The Selvedge Yard delivers again:

"I saw then that 1950s day in New York, and a young man with short-cropped hair wearing chino pants and a stark white T-shirt lounging against a cream-colored MG-TC with a machine-turned dashboard. He squints into the stark white sun and smiles a quick, not-yet-famous smile suddenly there, just as suddenly gone. He turns a new white helmet over and over in his hands.

I think too of those E.E. Cummings lines:

“And what I want to know is– How do you like your blue-eyed boy, Mr. Death?”"
