Tangiers: Internal Dialog

Tangiers: Internal Dialog

A Poem by Rachel

Never go to Tangiers

If you want to understand Naked Lunch you should get

of the plan

and get back on.

He said

"Do not stay too long in Tangiers."

Can you buy blind determination there?

"With a small, childlike hand, sewn shut at the seems."

He said.

"A translucent sliver of your soul."

"Ask the locals."

"They have seen real poverty."

"Poverty is different when you see it."

You know that you have shoes.
