“I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness”
“who howled on their knees in the subway and were dragged off the roof waving genitals and manuscripts”
Preset: the day room of an asylum

Slides projected on the actors’ bodies signified the chaos of their minds in urban America
“Moloch! Solitude! Filth! Ugliness! Ashcans and unobtainable dollars! Children screaming under the stairways! Boys sobbing in armies! Old men weeping in the parks!”
“ah, Carl, while you are not safe I am not safe, and now you’re really in the total animal soup of time”
“I’m with you in Rockland…”
“in my dreams you walk dripping from a sea journey on a highway across America”
