So far this one is just Burroughs at his most nonsensical, phrases and random words and thoughts from an insane mind with little to no story or sense.
Etc. Is fun.

The Soft Machine, 1967 by Frank Habicht
A lot of my thinking traces back to The Soft Machine. The body is a soft machine: programmed, conditioned, susceptible to interruption. Flesh carrying signals. Habit posing as freedom.
No need to romanticize the apparatus.
You didn't choose the machine. You woke up inside it.
Burroughs was right.
