Chronicle of a Homeless Man: Mistaken for someone wanted by police he is taken down in a parking lot by three policemen. The fourth incoming officer recognizes him by name, and assures the other officers it is not who they are looking for. A fractured rib, and a damaged ankle he goes to the ER. Where he is offered a 'cocktail' of pain killers including oxycontin. He is two years sober. He knows well it's the beginning of the end of sobriety, or sell them on the street. He declines both apparently. He walks all night, having taken an aspirin,unable to sleep. One never knows the whole story. But this is a chapter.
