yrstruly's Xmas Eve (p. 135)

quote

and it took yrstruly two days of Kicking The Bird in the hall out side my Mumsters’ apartment that for payback she locked the door before I yrstruly can get in a Detox to atleast cop some methedoan and get three squars to stay down in yrstruly to start to thearize on what to try and do after I could standup straight and walk upright again once more.

Context

The closing sentence locates the document's writing position: set down from a detox bed, after two days of withdrawal, by a narrator who had to get physically upright before he could "start to thearize" at all. The whole chapter is memory as written testimony, composed at a stated remove, under stated impairment.
