To say tha he was addicted was perhaps to misuse the word. Perhaps, for the precision of words was for old Fishface - dare I say it? - a confused subject. Oh dear, I feel sure we will soon become disenchanted with old Fishface and think him a fuckface, or Fuckface a fishface. Or worse. Confused old bugger. No more addicted than in need. Yes, agreed the old goat with himself. Need, in need of confusion. So much so the he let himself be confused. Remarkable for one so keenly aware of his own clarity. Confusing. Thus the need is satisfied. Confusing himself in order to satisfy his need. The rule of need is the need to realise. As fully as possible. Until hopefully, perhaps, satisfied. Temporarily satisfied, of course. The pages are getting heavier and heavier to turn.
