“If you wish to alter or annihilate a pyramid of numbers in a serial relation, you alter or remove the bottom number. If we wish to annihilate the junk problem we start with the bottom of the pyramid: Addict in the Street and stop tilting quixotically for the “higher-ups” so called. All of whom areContinue reading “RKS Literature: The Solution to America’s Drug Problem (William S. Burroughs)”

RKS Literature: A Less Than Efficient Court System (William S. Burroughs)
“The County Clerk has his office in a huge red brick building known as the Old Court House. Civil cases are, in fact tried there, the proceeding inexorably dragging out until the contestants die or abandon litigation. This is due to the vast number of records pertaining to absolutely everything, all filed in the wrongContinue reading “RKS Literature: A Less Than Efficient Court System (William S. Burroughs)”
RKS Literature: Ketchup on Haute Cuisine Causes a Riot! (William S. Burroughs)
“(Alternative: A.J. whips out a bottle of ketchup and douses the haute cuisine.) Thirty gourmets stop chewing at once. You could have heard a soufflé drop. As for Robert, he lets out a bellow of rage like a wounded elephant, runs to the kitchen and arms himself with a meat cleaver….The sommelier snarls hideously, hisContinue reading “RKS Literature: Ketchup on Haute Cuisine Causes a Riot!

On the other hand, prolonged mistreatment, short of physical violence, gives rise, when skillfully applied, to anxiety and a feeling of special guilt. A few rules or rather guiding principles are to be borne in mind. The subject must not realize that the mistreatment is a deliberateContinue reading “RKS Literature: A Preference for Prolonged Mistreatment Over Brutality (William S. Burroughs)”
RKS Literature: Senior Geezers and Junkies (William S. Burroughs)
“I made the round with him once for kicks. You know how old people lose all shame about eating, and it makes you puke to watch them? Old junkies are the same about junk. They gibber and squeal at the sight of it. The spit hangs off their chin, and their stomach rumbles and allContinue reading “RKS Literature: Senior Geezers and Junkies (William S. Burroughs)”
