a fine eve/ 'pon the wings of an impulse i to b- where at in mo.s acquired a 20 saxifrage (well, rather that which the saxifrage splits, but indeed this particular item flowers intensely, although for a brief spell...as ezra say: saxifrage...splits the rock...yeah?...i know, cheese supreme, no? why not make you work for it?)/ so yes, 'twas fine fine fine and now i reside at home, blissed indeed/ the writing is going well/ the times literary supplement replied they do not consider such material/ it seems that neither concept nr craft matters: subject is all/ to mock the absurdity of conformity may sound lime a teen rant but it's not without substance/ who do you think a better writer: fucking dreiser of selby jr?/ i lay my case down to sleep/ well, not quite...as usual, any area are grey hued...e.g. there is plenty writing out there dealing with 'difficult' subject matters that is self-indulgent and badly written, riling against an admittedly fucked system but for the wrong reasons and badly, hence the reason, 'burroughs-esqe- lit. tends to have a bad name/ however, what is tantamount is content, clear and elegant mode of expression, perspicuous psychological observations, &c./ dreiser does none of these but he was published and lauded where selby jr was ignored or derided/ this is a clear example of 'educated' ignorance/ i attended one of the finest university's in the world, attained a first and concluded i'd never had my thinking more stifled/ it has taken me three years to recover and restore my mind to the flexible, questioning state it was when i began university/ one of the main difficulties with 'intellectual' subjects is something known as 'organic metaphors', e.g. hegel advocating a unity of minds, to achieve absolute knowledge, the peak of human capability/ now some of the more obvious difficulties with this are 1) it's impossible to quantify and2) when you cook it down you get totalitarianism (but reasoning within the system it seems anything but totalitarian)/ i suppose the point i'm trying to make is one can get lost in a logical morass which, whilst perhaps internally consistent, bears no relation to anything one could possibly explain/ and in it's application, it can be lethal/ one thing academia and spending 10s f thousands on hi-fi has taught me is, question and grasp everything which you think or become involved in/ otherwise, forget it/ logic, like religion, is just a form of human desperation with a different mask/ as fritz the cat said (roughly) 'since i gave up thinking, i'm much less of a cunt'/ gra-see-ass, fritz/
