Junky

by William S. Burroughs

“If you want to really bring a man down, light a cigarette in the middle of intercourse.

I get a kick out of taking a proud chick and breaking her spirit, making her see she is just an animal. A chick is never as beautiful after she’s been broken.

I remember once he told me how he’d been propositioned by a queer who offered him twenty dollars. Bill declined, saying, “I don’t think you would be very well satisfied.”

When people start talking about their bowel movements they are as inexorable as the processes of which they speak.
