KC looks at me as though he’s witnessed me escape from a burning building—frightened, I suppose—morbidly and sympathetically curious.

“You okay, man?” he asks, giving me a bit more space. “Because it looked like you were looking at something that wasn’t there.”

“I’m fine.”

“Yo, you look high—not anymore—you looked high for a second. You had that faraway look in your eye.”

All of a sudden we go back to work. My lateness has actually done them a service—compressed the time between break and lunch. But for me it marks the amount of time left in this day—not so bad if I was building something, but the life of a paint scraper is tedious, hideous. The crud comes off but in no way is it archaeological. The strata, that past, is smudged and buffed into oblivion, and voilà: a brand-new skin. This is taking too long. I need toxic chemicals.
