ODE TO KETAMINE

 

“Good morning, ladies,and gentlemen, I trust you slept well

I hope you are throughly confused about where we are, unable

To guess either the nation nor this city, as that will be safest

For your lives and welfare. I admit that we are responsible for this test

Of your confidence in us, but you all replied to our job advert online

Which admitted our illegal purposes. Some applicants had designs

On our existence and were eliminated but we regard you as promising.

We have in our possession a huge consignment of Ketamine; your mission

Will be to sell it. Some of you have useful experience of this but some

Have none, so a summary may be helpful. Ketamine has many uses but the one

That matters is as a human and veterinary analgesic, although it is used

more and more as an anti-depressant for young people. Legally. You

Will sell it illegally at a street price of10 to 20 sterling a gram

In Scotland, its main cities and towns. You all speak English, you can

Understand their vile dialect in a week if you listen. We have chosen

This society because although it is one of the richest it is frozen

Into cultures of poverty where economic justice is absent

sInce its government would rather be known as kind than competent.

It has some of the worst deprivation and the most drug deaths in Europe

While the state tries to protect addicts from the effects of their dope.

And leaves us with the sole right to supply it, the secret of our success,

And their social disaster. So,you’ll be safe and appreciate a stress-

Free business amongst likeable people. Your distribution, contacts,

Instructions, banking, payment, area guide, emergency extraction

From the territory, and above all supply of what they are calling Special K,

That’s all in the phone we will give you, on which your identity

Will be confirmed through facial recognition. We pay 200 Sterling a day plus

20% commission on monthly sales. Our present stash will last us

And you, maybe 6 months. If you don’t want the job, please raise your hand.

Nobody. Good. One last thing. This is a very attractive drug; don’t use it.

If you don’t want turned into a bladderless pile of piss, refuse it.”
