M I N U T E S T O G O
By Brion Gysin
the hallucinated have come to tell you that yr utilities
are being shut off dreams monitored though directed
sex is shutting down everywhere you are being sent
all word are taped agents everywhere
marking down the live ones to exterminate
they are turning out the lights
no they are not evil nor the devil but men
on a mission with a spot of work to do
this dear friends they intend to do on you
you have been offered a choice between liberty and
freedom and No! you cannot have both
the next step is everyone into space but it has been
a long dull wait since the last tower of babel
that first derisive visit of the paraclete
let's not hear that noise again and again
that may well be the last word anywhere
this is not the beginning in the geginning was the word
the word has been in for a too long time
you in the word and the word in you
we are out
you are in
we have come to let you out
here and now we will show you what you can do
with and to
the word
the words
any word
all the words
Pick a book any book cut it up
cut up
prose
poems
newspapers
magazines
the bible
the koran
the book of moroni
la-tzu
confucius
the bhagavad gita
anything
letters
business correspondence
ads
all the words
slice down the middle dice into sections
according to taste
chop in some bible pour on some Madison Avenue
prose
shuffle cards toss like confette
taste it like piping hot alphabet soup
pass yr friends' letters yr office carbons
through any such sieve as you may find or invent
you will soon see just what they really are
saying this is the terminal method for
finding the truth
piece together a masterpiece a week
use better materials more highly charged words
there is no longer a need to drum up a season of
geniuses be your own agent until we deliver
the machine in commercially reasonable quantities
we wish to announce that while we esteem
this to be truly the American Way
we have no commitments with any government
groups
the writing machine is for everybody
do it yourself until the machine comes
here is the system according to us
