 I received the pipe.

'Smoke,' the Oriental said as he nodded his head.

My lips cupped the mouthpiece...

I inhaled deep.

Smolder penetrated both lungs;

A tickle on my tongue.

Quick like, a queer sensation swept over me:

The room shimmered; nothing seemed real; who was I...

The Oriental cooed: 'Blow.'

Out came the kernel...a fantastic, misshapen cloud...

The poppy made me keen.

Dreamy...

How the mind flowed in verse!

_Incomprehensible breath,_ I mused. _Unveiled in the gloom, igniting existence!_

Praise the handsome flower!

Praise its influences!

Praise unrestrained indulgence!

Praise the pulverizing of physical assertion!

"Listen..."

Listen, comrade, I know boredom permeates your mind.

Apologies, but my thoughts meander as I describe this time.

Understand the excitement of innumerable ideas;

Of schemes and enterprises.

But now I must admit an obvious frailty.

Be warned!

The poppy seized me.

Dissemination, replication, relationships, considerations...

The weighty enormity!

Let this be a lesson about how man can become encumbered in individuality...

Savage meditation.

Lo, I wandered a maze.

Using the poppy to probe, I discovered broken segments...

Let us unwind the coiling cosmos.

I wish to build great pyramids...

 A tickle on my natural language.

 The room shimmered; nothing seem real; who was I... 

 The Oriental cooed:' boast.'
