america
i've given you all and now i'm nothing
america
two dollars and twenty-seven cents january 17
1956
i can't stand my own mind
america
when will we end the human war
go fuck yourself with your atom bomb
i don't feel good
don't bother me
i won't write my poem till i'm in my right mind
america
when will you be angelic
when will you take off your clothes
when will you look at yourself through the grave
when will you be worthy of your million trotskyites
america
why are your libraries full of tears
america
when will you send your eggs to india
i'm sick of your insane demands
when can i go into the supermarket and buy what i need with my good looks
america
after all
it is you and i who are perfect
not the next world
your machinery is too much for me
you made me want to be a saint
there must be some other way to settle this argument
burroughs is in tangiers
i don't think he'll come back
it's sinister
are you being sinister or is this some form of practical joke
i'm trying to come to the point
i refuse to give up my obsession
america
stop pushing
i know what i'm doing
america
the plum blossoms are falling
i haven't read the newspapers for months
everyday somebody goes on trial for murder
