A Modern Odyssey

Searching
The rain swept
streets
Of Amsterdam
He wandered
Into coffee shop
After
Coffee shop
In search of the
Ultimate high
Selecting by
Smell & taste
By word of mouth
By the look in the eyes
Of the many
Stoned people
That he
Met in
His quest

He moved on
Into the night
Forever searching
He tried
Pipes & bongs
Vaporizers
And many, many
Different
Types of
Joints

They were
Hand rolled
Machine rolled
Factory rolled
Sweatshop rolled
In the back streets
Of Calcutta
Of Bangkok
Of Izmir And
Countless
Other strange
&
wonderfilled
places
around the
globe

there were
long ones
thin ones
short ones
stubby ones
fat ones
conical
&
straight
ones

Different tokes !
For different folks !
Anyway you want it
Get you high
Joints

Highs from
Every corner
Of the world
Africa & India
Morocco & Turkey
Indonesia & Afghanistan
Kazakhstan & Balouchistan
Bengal & Mexico
From
Medocino county
To
Hidden plantations
In the attics
Of
Amsterdam

Kif from
The hill around Fez
Churse from
The mountains of
The Hindu Kush
Dagga from
The plains
& Jungles
Of Africa
Isfahard from
Anatolia
Temple ball
from Nepal


and
of course
that
very
special
sweet & Sticky
Hash from
the Manali hills

All this
and
more
Until
at last
he found
What
it was

that
He
was
searching
for

And
from
that
moment
he
was
never

ever

ever

seen

again
