SNIFFING ETHER ON A TIMES SQUARE BENCH

Folder: 
AMERICAN ZEN KOANS

 

 

Going to New York

can be pretty intense

there’s always adventure

to be found in the Apple

 

There was the one excursion

when I was partying

with a few of my friends

We were drinking, smoking

and other miscellaneous stuff

 

There were whippets

and some raw ether

We were sitting

on a Times Square bench

sniffing ether

 

What you do

is pour some ether on your sleeve

and hold the sleeve

up against your nose

 

It’s an intense rush

and we actually turned

a few heads

which is no small feat

in Manhattan

 

Then we went to a movie

called “Neon Maniacs”

which I don’t recall other

than being incredibly dumb

 

Someday I wanna rent it

just to see if

it was really that dumb

or if we were just

that fucked up

 

but in any case

sniffing ether

on a Times Square bench

is an experience

that I won’t soon forget
