something new

Post by saw » December 7th, 2016, 12:57 pm

I want to have a naked lunch
not with Steely Dan, with all
those others that never read Burroughs
those ones I still hold dear
but don't know how to talk to,
what if we could step down to
that basic element that always feels
right, where we never leave
without satisfaction , that place
where clothes fall off like burdens,
that place where there is nothing
up your sleeve 'cept an arm of silky skin
and elegant bone, and the magic is
a teaspoon of molasses dripped
in super-slo-motion... oozing for eternity
Tupelo Honey over neurons, Don't tell
me that I'm a dreamer, I already know that...
tell me something new
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Nice poem, interesting comment about Burroughs as there really is those who read him and those that did not.I really liked him I read Naked Lunch when I was seventeen, it blew my mind, because I really felt that like he was teaching about the world and I was a fan ever since. I read everything he wrote. I met his son Billy one day in a hang out place in Santa Cruz called the Catalyst, it was a bar and a cafe and a food place. i bought Billy a beer and we talked for awhile.
