"PJ" - insta-yarn


At the rehab meetings at St Vincent's, PJ reckoned it was all earnest. Earnest "one day at a time"; earnest "grant us the serenity". Earnest was okay to skip breakfast with, but somebody needed to buy lunch, PJ thought as he shredded the plastic lid of his take-away cappuccino. He knew he had to get his driver's license back. No wheels - no hope. Just the park across from the hospital with ex-junkies in Lowes trackies and dirty ibises stealing chips.
