|
|
|
Burroughs is in Tangiers I don’t think he’ll come back it’s sinister.
|
2020-04-25 06:10:06 +00:00
|
|
|
Are you being sinister or is this some form of practical joke?
|
2020-06-24 07:10:07 +00:00
|
|
|
I’m trying to come to the point.
|
2020-04-25 06:10:06 +00:00

|
2020-04-25 06:10:06 +00:00
|
|
|
murder.
|
|
|
|
|

|
America I used to be a communist when I was a kid and I’m not sorry.
|
2020-04-25 06:10:06 +00:00
|
|
|
I smoke marijuana every chance I get.
|
|
|
|
|
I sit in my house for days on end and stare at the roses in the closet.
|
|
|
|
|
When I go to Chinatown I get drunk and never get laid.
|
2020-06-24 07:10:07 +00:00
|
|
|
My mind is made up there’s going to be trouble.
|
2020-04-25 06:10:06 +00:00
|
|
|

2020-04-25 06:10:06 +00:00
|
|
|

|
2020-06-24 07:10:07 +00:00
|
|
|
America I still haven’t told you what you did to Uncle Max after he came over
|
2020-04-25 06:10:06 +00:00
|
|
|
from Russia.</p>
|
2020-06-24 07:10:07 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>I’m addressing you.
|
2020-04-25 06:10:06 +00:00
|
|
|
Are you going to let our emotional life be run by Time Magazine?
|
2020-06-24 07:10:07 +00:00
|
|
|
I’m obsessed by Time Magazine.
|
2020-04-25 06:10:06 +00:00
|
|
|
I read it every week.
|
|
|
|
|
Its cover stares at me every time I slink past the corner candystore.
|
|
|
|
|
I read it in the basement of the Berkeley Public Library.
|
2020-06-24 07:10:07 +00:00
|
|
|
It’s always telling me about responsibility. Businessmen are serious. Movie
|
|
|
|
|
producers are serious. Everybody’s serious but me.
|
2020-04-25 06:10:06 +00:00

|
|
|
I haven’t got a chinaman’s chance.
|
|
|
|
|
I’d better consider my national resources.
|
2020-04-25 06:10:06 +00:00
|
|
|
My national resources consist of two joints of marijuana millions of genitals
|
|
|
|
|
an unpublishable private literature that goes 1400 miles and hour and
|
|
|
|
|
twentyfivethousand mental institutions.
|
|
|
|
|
I say nothing about my prisons nor the millions of underpriviliged who live in
|
|
|
|
|
my flowerpots under the light of five hundred suns.
|
|
|
|
|
I have abolished the whorehouses of France, Tangiers is the next to go.
|
2020-06-24 07:10:07 +00:00
|
|
|
My ambition is to be President despite the fact that I’m a Catholic.</p>
|
2020-04-25 06:10:06 +00:00
|
|
|

2020-06-24 07:10:07 +00:00
|
|
|
automobiles more so they’re all different sexes
|
2020-04-25 06:10:06 +00:00

|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
America this is the impression I get from looking in the television set.
|
|
|
|
|
America is this correct?
|
2020-06-24 07:10:07 +00:00
|
|
|
I’d better get right down to the job.
|
|
|
|
|
It’s true I don’t want to join the Army or turn lathes in precision parts
|
|
|
|
|
factories, I’m nearsighted and psychopathic anyway.
|
|
|
|
|
