Уильям Берроуз - Nova Express

K9 took off his clothes in a metal-lined cubicle with a Chinese youth-Naked he felt vertigo and a tightening of stomach muscles as they let themselves down into the tank and floated now a few inches apart warm liquid swirling through legs and genitals touching-His hands and feed lost outline-There was sudden sharp spasm in his throat and a taste of blood-The words dissolved-His body twisted in liquid fish spasms and emptied through his spurting penis-feeling other spasms shiver through

the tank-He got out and dresses with a boy from The Alameda-Back in flesh-street boy words in his throat Kerosene light on a Mexican about twenty felt his pants slide down his stomach his crotch unbuttoned sighed and moved his ass off-He was naked now in lamp-Mexican rolled marijuana cigarette-naked body of the other next to his turning him over on his stomach-his crotch unbuttoned wind and water sounds-sighed and moved his ass in shadow pools on rose wallpaper-brass bed stale against him-Felt naked body of the other explode in his spine-Room changed with flesh-Felt his pants slide-The cadet's ass was naked now — A few inches apart in the tank the Mexican-His lips felt propositions — A few inches apart K9 moved his ass in scratching shower-Wave of pleasure through his stomach-He was floating moving in food-City of Chili Houses exploded in muscles and the words went in-There in his throat Kerosene light on with street boy- Outskirts of The City-First spurts of his crotch-

The naked cadets entered a warehouse of metal-lined cubicles-stood a few inches apart laughing and talking on many levels-Blue light played over their bodies {5} 5 Reference to the orgone accumulators of Doctor Wilhelm Reich- Doctor Reich claims that the basic charge of life is this blue orgone-like electrical charge — Orgones form a sphere around the earth and charge the human machine — He discovered that orgones pass readily through iron but are stopped and absorbed by organic matter — So he constructed metal-lined cubicles with layers of organic material behind the metal — Subjects sit in the cubicles lined with iron and accumulate orgones according to the law of increased returns on which life functions — The orgones produce a prickling sensation frequently associated with erotic stimulation and spontaneous orgasm — Reich insists that orgasm is an electrical discharge — He has attached electrodes to the appropriate connections and charted the orgasm — In consequence of these experiments he was of course expelled from various countries before he took refuge in America and died in a federal penitentiary for suggesting the orgone accumulator be used in treating cancer — It has occurred to this investigator that orgone energy can be concentrated to disperse the miasma of idiotic prurience and anxiety that blocks any scientific investigation of sexual phenomenon — Preliminary experiments indicate that certain paintings — like Brion Gysin's — when projected on a subject produced some of the effects observed in orgone accumulators - -Projectors flashed the color writing of Hassan i Sabbah on bodies and metal walls-Opened into amusement gardens-Sex Equilibrists perform on tightropes and balancing chairs-Trapeze acts ejaculate in the air-The Sodomite Tumblers doing cartwheels and whirling dances stuck together like dogs-Boys masturbate from scenic railways-Flower floats in the lagoons and canals-Sex cubicles where the acts performed to music project on the tent ceiling a sky of rhythmic copulation-Vast flicker cylinders and projectors sweep the gardens writing explosive bio-advance to neon-Areas of sandwich booths blue movie parlors and transient hotels under ferris wheels and scenic railways-soft water sounds and frogs from the canals — K9 stood opposite a boy from Norway felt the prickling blue light on his genitals filling with blood touched the other tip and a warm shock went down his spine and he came in spasms of light-Silver writing burst in his brain and went out with a smell of burning metal in empty intersections where boys on roller skates turn slow circles and weeds grow through cracked pavement-

Mexican rolled cigarette the soft blue light deep in his lungs-Mexican hands touching felt his pants slide down in soundless explosion of the throat and a taste of blood-His body twisted-Sleeps naked now-wind and water sounds-Outskirts of the city-shadow areas of sandwich booths and transient hotels under scenic railways-

We drank the beer and ate the smorbrot-I dropped half a sandwich in my lap and she wiped the butter off with a napkin laughing as the cloth bulged under her fingers my back against a tree the sun on my crotch tingling filling with blood she opened my belt and: "Raise up, darling," pulled my pants down to the knee-

We ate the smorbrot with hot chocolate from the thermos bottle and I spilled a cup of chocolate in my lap and jumped up and she wiped the chocolate off with a paper napkin and I dodged away laughing as the cloth bulged under her fingers and she followed me with the napkin and opened my belt-I felt my pants slide down and the sun on my naked crotch tingling and filling with blood-We did it half undressed — When I came there was silver light popped in my eyes like a flash bulb and looking over her shoulder I saw little green men in the trees swinging from branch to branch turning cartwheels in the air-And sex acts by naked acrobats on tightropes and balancing poles-Jissom drifting cobwebs through clear green light-Washed in the stream and pulled up my pants-We rode back to Copenhagen on my motor scooter-I left her in front of her flat block and arranged a meeting for Sunday-As she walked away I could see the grass stains on the back of her dress-That night I was blank and went back to a bar in Neuerhaven where I can usually find a tourist to buy drinks-and sat down at a table with a boy about my age-I noticed he had a very small narrow head tapering from his neck which was thick and smooth and something strange about his eyes-The iris was shiny black like broken coal with pinpoint green pupils-He turned and looks straight at me and I got a feeling like scenic railways in the stomach — Then he ordered two beers-"I see that you are blank," he said-The beers came-"I work with the circus," he said-balancing his chair-"Like this on wires-never with net-In South America I did it over a gorge of a thousand meters in depth."

Balancing he drank the Tuborg-"There are not many who can see us-Come and I will show you our real acts."

We took a cab to the outskirts of the city-There was a warm electric wind blowing through the car that seemed to leave the ground-We came to what looked like a ruined carnival by a lake-In a tent lit by flickering blue globes I met more boys with the same narrow head and reversed eyes-They passed around a little pipe and I smoked and felt green tingling in my crotch and lips-A Negro drummer began pounding his drum with sticks-The boys got up laughing and passing the pipe and talking in a language like bird calls and took off their clothes-They climbed a ladder to the high wire and walked back and forth like cats-A magic lantern projected color writing on their bodies that looked like Japanese tattooing-They all got erections and arching past each other on the wire genitals touched in a shower of blue sparks-One boy balanced a steel chair on the wire and ejaculated in a crescendo of drum beats and flickering rainbow colors-jissom turning slow cartwheels dissolved in yellow light-Another boy with earphones crackling radio static and blue sparks playing around his yellow hair did a Messerschmidt number-the chair rocking in space-tracer bullets of jissom streaking cross interstellar void-(Naked boys on roller skates turn slow circles at the intersection of ruined suburbs-falling through a maze of penny arcades-spattered the cracked concrete weeds and dog excrement-) The boys came down from the wire and one of them flicked my jacket-I took off my clothes and practiced balancing naked in a chair-The balance point was an electrical field holding him out of gravity-The charge built up in his genitals and he came in a wet dream the chair fluid and part of his body-That night made sex with the boy I met in Neuerhaven for the first time with each other in space — Sure calm of wire acts balanced on ozone-blue electric spasms-Smell of burning metal in the penny arcade I got a hard on looking at the peep show and Hans laughed pointing to my fly: "Let's make the roller coaster," he said-The cashier took our money with calm neutral glance-A young Italian clicked us out- We were the only riders and as soon as the car started we slipped off our shorts-We came together in the first dip as the car started up the other side throwing blood into our genitals tight and precise as motor parts-open shirts flapping over the midway-Silver light popped in my head and went out in blue silence-Smell of ozone-You see sex is an electrical charge that can be turned on and off if you know the electromagnetic switchboard-Sex is an electrical flesh trade-It is usually turned on by water sounds-Now take your sex words on rose wallpaper brass bed-Explode in red brown green from colors to the act on the association line-Naked charge can explode sex words to color's rectal brown green ass language-The sex charge is usually controlled by sex words forming an electromagnetic pattern-This pattern can be shifted by substituting other factors for words-Take a simple sex word like "masturbate'-"jack off'-Substitute color for the words like: "jack"-red "off”-white-red- white-Flash from words to color on the association screen-Associate silently from colors to the act-Substitute other factors for the words-Arab drum music- Musty smell of erections in outhouses-Feel of orgasm — Color-music-smell-feel to the million sex acts all time place-Boys red-white from ferris wheel, scenic railways, bridges, whistling bicycles, tree houses careening freight cars train whistles drifting jissom in winds of Panhandle-shivering through young bodies under boarding house covers rubbly outskirts of South American city ragged pants dropped to cracked bleeding feet black dust blowing through legs and genitals-Pensive lemur smell of erection-cool basement toilets in St. Louis-Summer afternoon on car seats to the thin brown knee-Bleak public school flesh naked for the physical the boy with epilepsy felt The Dream in his head struggling for control locker room smells on his stomach-He was in The Room with many suitcases all open and drawers full of things that had to be packed and only a few minutes to catch the boat whistling in the harbor and more and more drawers and the suitcases won't close arithmetical disorder and the wet dream tension in his crotch-The other boys laughing and pointing in the distance now as he got out of control silver light popped in his eyes and he fell with a sharp metal cry-through legs and genitals felt his pants slide-shivering outskirts of the city-wind of morning in a place full of dust-Naked for a physical orgasms occur-tightening stomach muscles-scenic railways exploded in his crotch-Legs and genitals lost outline careening through dream flesh-smell of the mud flats-warm spurts to sluggish stream water from the tree house-a few inches apart laughing in the sunlight jissom cartwheels in the clear air of masturbating afternoons-pulled up my pants-Explosion of the throat from color to the act jumped up laughing in the transient hotels-careening area of sandwich booths-Silver writing burst in moonlight through a Mexican about twenty shifting his crotch sighed and moved naked now a few inches in his hand-pleasure tingling through cracked bleeding feet With phantom limbs his cock got hard sensations on roller skates- slow intersection of weeds and concrete-Penny arcades spattered light on a Mexican about twenty-Wet dreams of flight sighed in lamp-Flash from word to color sex acts all time place exploded in muscles drifting sheets of male flesh-Boys on wind of morning- first spurts unbuttoned my pants-Area of sandwich booths and intolerable scenic railways he came wet dream way-(In the tree house black ants got into our clothes pulling off shirts and pants and brushing the ants off each other he kept brushing my crotch- "there's an ant there" and jacked me off into the stream of masturbating afternoons)-Hans laughed pointing to my shorts-Pants to the ankle we were the only riders-Wheee came together in the first dip open shorts flapping genitals-Wind of morning through flesh-Outskirts of the city-
