365 Days of Print: Dec 28
I was deep into the Burroughs-ian segment of my “beat” education by the time I began negotiating my first employment contract. It was too late. Burroughs had already embedded the idea that words were viruses and that I might have to rip the whole thing apart to get to the bottom of what it all meant. It didn’t help that they use words like “inured” and then tell you, “Oh, it doesn’t mean what you think it does. In legal terminology it means something else.” Well…uh…yeah!
I did not cut up that contract. But I did use the cut-up technique to create the Dec 27 collage. Did I uncover anything revelatory? No. But I did receive a rather irie message:
“today is the day, mon”
