A Tale of Instability in Seven Parts
Dross
From: On Opium
$1.70
In this chapter, dross, the undesirable scum that rises to the top of molten metal and also the residue from previously smoked opium is applied as metaphor to junkies: the unwanted product of something precious: refuse, garbage, waste. The author explores the limits to empathy.
