Burroughs. I don’t care about his homosexuality, but the fantasies of violence are so unhealthy”. Firstly, you cast aspersions without giving any reference, so your comment is no more than a random opine about “something you dont like” – WOW – Thats soooooo how the conservative mind truly works – moan about something while providing zero context or actual critique. You neither know Burroughs work, nor capable of critique.
Suggest you try harder before you expose yourself as the whiny person you are.

That perhaps Burrough’s writing is in fact a work of art, much of it as pure a kind of art as there ever was. What I mean to say is I used to analyze the heck out of it and never look at the whole – inside. And if this is true, how magnificent that would be and what a great and hidden master of the brush. Kerouac could paint you a picture, but if I’m correct, Burroughs drag you right into his picture kicking and screaming. Great, now I must reread the collection. May you all have a good summer.

Burroughs. I don’t care about his homosexuality, but the fantasies of violence are so unhealthy. He also happened to kill his wife playing William Tell with a rifle, that is manslaughter. He was a violent person and just because he told old conservative America to smooch his behind and made shooting smack almost glorified doesn’t elevate his character.

You can see a poster of the
RAT cover which featured WSB and a copy of one of his letters at http://www.ratundergroundnews.com/blog . I have many more of his letters and I would love to get feedback as I am a big fan of WSBurroughs.

It’s a great resource for Burroughs fans and collectors alike. And I suspect its a true labour of love (or better known as a money pit!).

I don’t think it has ever been published separately as a text (not that I can recall). Would you call it a poem?

It appears as the last cut on BREAK THROUGH IN GREY ROOM…with his last mooched nickel Burroughs sneaked off to the pay-phone and called the law of all the cheap lousy tricks Burroughs to call the law on your old friends

The name “Burroughs” appears four times in the text at the link below:

http://www.interpc.fr/mapage/westernlands/Derniersmots.html

However, “Mr. Luce” is misspelled (loose) and it isn’t as complete as the reading on the vinyl recording from the AM HERE BOOKS Catalogue. Number five if memory serves.

Burroughs does use his own name from time to time, but that particular work isn’t familiar. Where’d you hear of it?
