Good side/creative of heroin- a life in and out of the zone.
Read his books backwards, such delight.Fact is I have become a megalomaniac, but with one essential differance and advantage.I have been outside.I have come up from the area of total humiliation and failure, climbed up cell by cell with a million setbacks and debacles. I don't figure to go back-[ And no one can stand still. Precisely the most dangerous thing in this world or any other-and what I've SEEN in the past six months has convinced me that there are literally billions of other worlds. How could people ever have been so limited as to think otherwise??.The most dangerous thing to do is to STAND STILL.And no one can do it actually. You are going up or you are going down.And I know the down area.I came from there.]I am going on up.
This is no land of the imagination. It is real as a table [which, seen from the four dimension point of time, is, of course, a phantom]. And dangerous in a most literal sense.

Yeeeah. William S. Burroughs should get gold medal for Longest Howl in the Willow olympics, but I guess Willow is judging.
