Gregory Corso: What do you say about political conflicts? William Burroughs: Political conflicts are merely surface manifestations. If conflicts arise you may be sure that certain powers intend to keep this conflict under operation since they hope to profit from the situation. To concern yourself with surface political conflicts is to make the mistake of the bull in the ring, you are charging the cloth. That is what politics is for, to teach you the cloth. Just as the bullfighter teaches the bull, teaches him to follow, obey the cloth. Gregory Corso: Who manipulates the cloth? William Burroughs: Death Allen Ginsberg: What is death? William Burroughs: A gimmick. It’s the time-birth-death gimmick. Can’t go on much longer, too many people are wising up. Gregory Corso and Allen Ginsberg, “Interview with William S. Burroughs,” Journal for Protection of All Beings (1961)
