Coming towards me is a ravaged junkie. One of those young dirt-covered, head nodding, eyes half-closed, slow wobbly-walking sad cases you can pretty much bet will either be dead or in a hospital before the year is out. Someone I know calls them '4th Dimension People' because they don't really live here anymore. They're somewhere else-- sort of alive, sort of dead, sort of in a 4th dimension someplace we earth inhabitants have never been or experienced. I start to walk a wide arc around him...
