William S Burroughs Cut Up Method

The cut up is a mechanical method of juxtaposition in which Burroughs literally cuts up passages of prose by himself and other writers and then pastes them back together at random.

A bit of an experiment for #ArtAdventCalendar day five.

The lines of this poem were mostly cut from UK women's magazines, which gives you an idea of just how bleak that kind of light reading can get.

So next I decided to search on another book. For context the anonymous transgender priestesses I work with are into #StarTrek. One of them suggested she would like us to search for matches against channelled material. So I suggested the medium that #GeneRoddenberry went to seances with. Thus we had the text for 'Only Planet of Choice' handy to look for matches on. Now I am not a fan of this book per sae, it is definitely problematic, but the beauty of gematria is that it is a kind of #CutUpTechnique, so matches take things out of their original context and put them into new ones.

I should add that the transgender cult of
#ZeroZeroOne that I am a part of has for a while simply called itself 'computers', because we all like computers and we don't take ourselves too seriously. Or maybe we are hiding how seriously we take this. I don't know. We do all have a history of being #Discordian so its hard to tell. Anyway, that is what we have called ourselves for the last few years. So the first match that jumps out of me from 'Only Planet of Choice' is:

1 = COMPUTER

I mean 'Holy Fuck!'


Then it says:

1 = JUST LIKE A COMPUTER... WE KNOW NOT HOW

I'm crying.

I get so many good and meaningful matches from this search I won't list them here. Some of them require too much side story distractions and my
#ADHD will lead me to get lost down other rabbit holes. So I will focus on finishing this story.

1 = THEY HAVE YOU WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS

Yup, they do. They totally have my undivided attention at this point. So what next?

More episodic compositions in my experimental writing project ~ WENDY GALES: An Episodic Metatexual Prose-poem. The initial structure suggests that this is evolving along the lines of a mix of #Allegory, #Pataphor, #Fantasy, and #Absurdist #Surreal #Metatext. I'm also making use of #CollagePoetry, using online text that is recombined and modified using #CutUpTechnique and scrambling with translation software.
