Ed Drew lies
on the floor, grass sticking to his elbows.
Ed Drew thinks
long and deep about being a failure.
Cars drive by
the railings, their metallic covers dazzling with reflected sun rays.

Ed Drew’s perception of the park changed. Instead of being a sunny play area, full of warmth and fun, with picnickers sat around truffles and creamy cheeses laid out on towels, and dog owners flinging frisbees for their pets to catch in keen jaws, and hyperactive children buzzing as they jumped all over climbing frames, it became a kind of seedy rendezvous juncture for dope fiends and sex offenders. Before he knew it, darkness was settling over proceedings. Well, not quite darkness, but the shadowy gloom that preceded darkness. A chill accompanied it. Not a natural chill, that belonged upon the surface of the Earth, next to a lake for example, but a mildly howling one, that belongs under the draft of a corrugated door in some forgotten decrepit chamber.
As we know Ed has been madly in unrequited love with cocaine, which has ruined his finances and placed a hole in his nose beside other things. Now he thinks about pushing the boat out and going one further by introducing some amphetamine into the scene of play, which is cheap and nasty and readily available. This make-do drug will keep Ed’s solo partygoing adventures in the game for another 24 hours, although the effects upon the body are far more serious than snow, in his opinion.
Speed will make him melt away, and dissolve into the atmosphere in a sweaty blur of itchy mist, serving no good thing whatsoever. At the moment he has a chance of recovery – the prospect of a chippy meal garners in him a glimmer of positive mental activity. Just the nourishing idea of dragging himself to Cod Almighty (open till 11.30pm) for a large fish and mushy peas with ketchup draws a smile on his face. For days now it had been just him and the drug, in a darkened room, and now there was a real possibility that that filthy run could be extended with a ten or twenty bag of dirty whizz, plonking him right back there with no excuse for anything productive like tidying up or bathing or anything. If only he could zone out with a movie or something, or chill to some music, with a bottle of red, with his feet up, and a cheese cracker.
There was nothing on the agenda tomorrow, but an able mindset and fresh attitude could unwrap some purpose from somewhere if he didn’t kop out with the billy. Nobody knew what positivity awaited around every next corner. As long as you kept your chin up with an air of expectancy, that was the main thing. If one were in bed at war with the world, not coping very well and edging towards depression, then it was almost conceivable without reply that another bad day was due your way.
