Lost…………

…….Among ex-patriots
In the neon lit streets
Of Amsterdam’s
red light district
I came across
an old friend

He had crossed
the channel
And found solace
In a pipe
Last seen
in a bar
In Rochdale
He had left
For the
great adventure
And found
nothing
Except
An empty chillum

He
Had said
That
He was
going
To India

To
Find
his self
But
Instead
He found
His
Destruction

On
Way to the
Bulldog
Early one
Friday evening

(The Bulldog is a very commercial Travelers hostel in Amsterdam)
