Tea Huffing
Discovered a new drug. Tea. Can get you high if you drink for long. Poppy is cheaper but there is the cost of thai prison. Went to teahouse out of town, took forever, but we found! It was built just like in yore, bamboo mats and woven door. Two men greeted, ere we entered, Niko and Peter- now friends forever. Niko is an Austrian exile, Peter is an Aloha fellow. There are two cups and much fuss, one you drink, one you must, smell, inhale, the fragrant musk, it is the nose, the bouquet of the stuff. The drink is better when smelled first, each nostril filled to slake a thirst. Cup after cup till you overflow, but the details are in it, and now I know: tea is a ceremony a sacred act, taking the time to think and relax!
