Ray had said that the worst part was the crying. The fountain of emotion. The unwelcomed discharge of tears. A day or two into a detox, a day or two without whatever you liked to use, whatever had become how you related to the world around you, how you loved and how you found happiness in the day’s incoherent movements, its unpredictable arrangement. Then, there you were, tears erupting as you tried to put together a cheese sandwich.
