This text, called Adage , is excerpted from a series of fragments that I did which combine and cutup my some of my own texts and of other authors.
Sometimes reading it aloud, just under one's breath, creates strange connections.

Actually her
take on the Burroughs statement 'language is avirus'has always been to say: If language is a virus I am going to createan epidemic. - For She the words always work as joy. The Burroughs cut-uptechnique and the fold-in [variants more or less of the permuation systemhe devised along with Brion Gysin] sheI admire greatly but do not actuallyuse myself. I have always found it either not fast enough, or not reallyproductive for my purposes... . However I do second Angela Carter indescribing old Bill [old Bull Lee as Kerouac dubbed him; or in his ownfamous signature, Inspector Lee] Burroughs as probably one ofthe writerswho people will read down the road in 100 years or so and say, he paintsthe 20th century inthe vivid colours that it occured in. Speaking ofAngela Carter, she died the same year as Felix Guattari. How sad that yearwas. I was on atrain in the BC mountains of Canada when I picked up anewspaper in the bar smoking car, andthere was her photo, all of 47 I thinkshe was. She had just given birth to a couple of children in the yearsbefore. I remember reading about her wonderful machines of desire andDoctor Hoffman and what a wonderful writer she was. And that she liked andadmired Burroughs was a sign of her generosity,her magnanimity towardsthis writer whose work and life was so controversial. I met WilliamBurroughs once and he was very kindly and his hand shake reminded me ofwhat I had read about Joyce's hand shake soft tender and not at all'masculine' in that awful sense so many men are forced into acting out....And Kathy Acker admired Burroughs and learned so much from him before herown untimely death last year. How strange that She and Burroughs died thesame year. Et tant d'autres et tant d'autres.' to quote Tzara's L'HommeApproximatif. And arent we all approximately women becoming men becomingwaves becoming sober becoming the white giant's thigh as we wander ourway throughplateau after plateau?(And speaking of Angela Carter --- who was...on this track...., translator and student of Deleuze andGuattari, wrote a master's thesis not too long ago about Angela Carter andDeleuze Guattari
O Stars!! Opretty Pictures!!! O writers of the research and scholar lovers!!!!Becoming writer finally as I feel the words joy and for me the wordsthewords are joy as I stutter mutter past the sexes anddays. O Virus ofDesire! Let my Hopes Steel High.in arabic as Father Genet said there are no capitals. And one writes fromright to left and how the world changes with the mirror thus being sodifferent. Different. So Mona, and she turned to her virus and staredinto the heart of loving, loving her lover in secret and clandestine. And "If one wants to gain even the slightest understanding of theworld, one has to get rid of resentment' Genet had said to her that nightas they stood by the grave of her father fathering the night. Unlearningresentment is the hardest lesson, and a life time's work. And it is not tobe confused with overcoming or denying the injustice of the world.
