A Thanksgiving Prayer
- William S Burroughs
Thanks for the wild turkey and
the passenger pigeons, destined
to be shit out through wholesome
American guts.Thanks for a continent to despoil
and poison.Thanks for Indians to provide a
modicum of challenge and
danger.Thanks for vast herds of bison to
kill and skin leaving the
carcasses to rot.Thanks for bounties on wolves
and coyotes.Thanks for the American dream,
To vulgarize and to falsify until
the bare lies shine through.Thanks for the KKK.
For nigger-killin’ lawmen,
feelin’ their notches.For decent church-goin’ women,
with their mean, pinched, bitter,
evil faces.Thanks for “Kill a Queer for
Christ†stickers.Thanks for laboratory AIDS.
Thanks for Prohibition and the
war against drugs.Thanks for a country where
nobody’s allowed to mind the
own business.Thanks for a nation of finks.
Yes, thanks for all the
memories– all right let’s see
your arms!You always were a headache and
you always were a bore.Thanks for the last and greatest
betrayal of the last and greatest
of human dreams.

Not so sure about your Thanksgiving poem….but….whatever. The author sounds like he’s thankful for acid and Jiberish’s Dictionary. Anyway, since I’m on the subject of Thanksgiving…..How are you and your family - wife, Mom, Dad, sister. You appear to be doing alright. Can’t do a “mat luschek” web search without finding more than 10 pages of results. I see you were recently imprisoned in “Walk The Line”. Congrats. Well…now that I know your here…I’ll be checkin’ in every once in a while. Later ~ whoami

That’s it, huh??? Not even curious, eh? That’s cool…. How was your Christmas? Haven’t had a chance to drop in on you website, but I was in Chicago for a couple of months on business. Question - Why is the Chewie (dog) cam always down???? Chewie seems like an interesting cat….errrr…dog. He seems to have time for people, much unlike his master. Also…Why is it that out of all the categories you have on your website, Chewie doesn’t have one. For Pete’s sake, 72.83% of your catagories don’t have posts more recent than 1 year ago. The least you could do is give the god damned dog a category all of his own!!! Oh well….we’ll be in touch - be sure of it!!!
P.S. Would appreciate more than a one-liner response. Tell me how you’re doing. How’s the fam?? How’s the newspaper / webmaster / acting / everything else that you do - career going?
