The Imaginary Joint

Miro (the 'mad' Englishman) was still struggling to get by in prison. He wouldn't talk about his case or sentencing, which was surprising as he generally talked non-stop. Nor would he say how much longer he had. I heard everything from a couple of months to 20 years. The only thing that I did know about his case was that it had been drugs and he'd been arrested a long way from where we both now were. I heard one story that he smoked marijuana in the prison, but I found this very hard to believe. He couldn't afford to buy himself normal cigarettes. Anything special was well out of his price range. However, when he did manage to cadge a cigarette from somewhere, he often pretended that it was a joint, holding it between the fingers of a closed fist and inhaling in a similar fashion.
