>Opium Tea

>Here I sleep the morning through
>Until the call to prayer awakes me
>And there is nothing to do but rise
>And follow the day wherever it takes me
>I stand at the window and look at the sea
>Then I make me a pot of opium tea
>Down at the port I watch the boats come in
>Watching boats come in can do something to you
>And the kids gather round with outstretched hand
>And I toss them a diram or two
>And I wonder if my children are thinking of me
>For I am what I am and what will be will be
>I wonder if my kids are thinking of me
>And I smile and I sip my opium tea
>At night the sea lashes the rust red ramparts
>And the shapes of hooded men move past me
>And the mad moaning wind, it laughs and it laughs
>At the strange lot that fate has cast me
>And the cats on the rampart sing merrily
>That I am what I am and what will be will be
>The cats on the rampart sing merrily
>And I sit and I drink my opium tea
>I'm a prisoner here, I can never go home
>There is nothing here to win or to lose
>There are no choices needing to be made at all
>Not even the choice of having to choose
>I am a prisoner, yes, but I am also free
>'Cause I am what I am and what will be will be
>I'm a prisoner here, yes, but I'm also free
>And I smile and I sip my opium tea

only that one chinese guy and the very last page. I would hardly consider this opium literature.
Suprised that no one has mentioned confessions of an english opium eater. Its one of the essentials
Burroughs mentions opium a lot too

No.
That would be against the rules.

I started it today. I'm not having a good time, I feel dumb. Like when I read poetry and have no clue of whats it means. I'm just picking up the habit of reading, so it's ok. Maybe I just need to keep pushing and someday I'll be able to read and keep up with harder books than what I've been reading so far. I'm curious though, what do you think of it or how did you feel about it while reading?

read junkie and the yage letters before
its the same themes and motives, just more coherent. Will help you understand naked lunch tremendously
