the challenge-match endnote: the body-scrutiny gear bolted into the locker
Freer’s locker next to Gloeckner’s next to good old Inc’s was agape, the bolted colposcope gleaming in the overhead lights
Context
The body-culture's inspection apparatus normalized into furniture. Freer's open locker has "the bolted colposcope gleaming" among the sticks — a magnifying inspection-scope racked beside the fluorescent-orange Fox racquets, the complexion-obsessed athlete's self-scrutiny hardware installed with the same permanence as his gear. The body here is a thing under constant magnified examination, and the tools of that examination live in the locker.
