Pressing Matters

Ironing the creases out of the sea before the tide comes in.

The Slopwright, pale with a curled spiral head and a work apron, irons a stretch of sea laid out on a long wooden table in a seaside laundry room. Behind the old iron the water is smooth and glassy with a toy sailboat on it; ahead of it the waves are still rough and spill over the table edge.
