Dylan Spirit Rises Liberation Cut-Up #80

Dylan Spirit Rises Liberation Cut-Up #80

***

As I walked out into the day, snow glittered, sun blinded me, and I heard a voice.

"You must cut up the words from their fixed positions, liberate and release them in space."

I could not find the source of the voice as I became lost in clouds in the blue sky. 

You must release language from the prison of grammar."

Aging I looked around, there was no one.

Then looking into the sun saw a figure descend and I shuttered.

It was William Burroughs with a shotgun, shooting cans of paint, which colored the clouds a sunset of rainbow colors.

" Language is a virus, you must cut up and release the words, unshackle yourself from words and language, cut-up the text and read between the lines, in the silent spaces, release."

So then mantra intertwined with text as this is what was written across the sky as far as I could see.

Visual language, dancing Vowels and consonants, the words were stirred and then freed from grammar, syntax, and any fixed designation. 

Final words from Burroughs.

"This world is a lifeboat, a spaceship, human species, stop shitting in your own bed."

Then he disappeared into the sunset.

The words, Vowels, consonants, weaved in a spiral and dissolved into a dot. 

No more words.

Release

There were some other words left in Burroughs hat, but I was weary of my task. 

Borroughs then appeared and said, "That is a start, but much more left to do. 

I said," Where did those words come from? "

Burroughs said," I took the Lord's Prayer, Tibetan mantra, a Rimbaud poem and Dylan's All Along the Watchtower, put them in a pot off on low boil overnight and stirred."

" Then the words were separated, laid out to dry, until there was nothing left to say." 

I said Burroughs, " I have no idea what any of this means 

He looked deep in my eyes and said "You will," and disappeared, and I happily went to bed falling into a deep sleep. 

I dreamed of Burroughs crying about losing one of his cats.
