2016: Giving Thanks on Thanksgiving Day

November 24, 2016 by Jan Herman

From William Burroughs, and Norman O. Mustill, and Heathcote Williams, and our staff of thousands …

thanks for a Continent to despoil and poison . . .

thanks for the AMERICAN DREAM
to vulgarize and to falsify until
the bare lies shine through . . .

thanks for the last and greatest
betrayal of the last and greatest
of human dreams.

William S. Burroughs
