Junkie Du Jour

Junkies can be funny to watch. Today's junkie with dreads was swaying back and forth in front of the Burger King on Delancey Street. A lit cigarette dangled from his mouth. Both hands were cradled around a large partially eaten corn muffin he held in front of his torso just above waist level. Every few seconds he would lift the muffin a few inches toward his mouth. Then a look of confusion would radiate out from his eyes and he would lower the muffin again. He really wanted to eat some of the muffin but it appeared he couldn't figure out how to make that happen given the lit cigarette already positioned between his lips.
