Fiery depths
Fatzoid drama
Everyone wants to offer me a tour
I don’t know what I’m talking about
Of course, whatever happens today happens today
Or tomorrow or the other day
The weekend is Thursday and Friday
Everyone wants to sell me a tour
Spend the night, have coffee, have tea
Fineries and niceties (and utter detachment)
How to distinguish naivety from manipulation?
Fiery depths
Eating khat
Go to souq, find khat seller
Inspect merchandize and choose
Some variety you eat tips, others leaves
Negotiate price, 500 riyal, 400 riyal
Wash khat
Find place to chew khat, quiet, doors closed
Comfortable clothes, no perfumes, might be nauseating
Takes time, chew leaves and leave in cheek to ferment
Drink water or sugary soda, tastes better, talk, talk more
Initial effect wears off, mild hallucination sets in, three, four hours
Focuses concentration, not distracted, work for hours, eight, ten, twelve
Crash, like a corpse
