Hesitantly, Pete reaches out with a pale hand.
His wrist paints a twigs passage on the shadowed cobblestone.
Bump, ‘Excuse me sir!’, and he’s gone.
Another faceless youth in the crowd.
Three streets later he stops, bony shoulders hunched protectively.
Deftly he opens the wear-worn billfold.
Five Dollars.
Damn!
His dealer wouldn’t like that.
Now back on the streets, eyes feverish and alert.
A junkies day just never ends.
