On Burroughs' Work

The method must be purest meat

and no symbolic dressing,
actual visions & actual prisons

as seen then and now.

Prisons and visions presented

with rare descriptions
corresonding exactly to those

of Alcatraz and Rose

A naked lunch is natural to us,

we eat reality sandwiches.
But allegories are so much lettuce.

Don't hide the madness.
