POPSWilliam S. Burroughs' Thanksgiving Dream, 28 November 1986 Thanks Giving Prayer For John Dillinger, In hope he is still alive Thanks for the wild turkey and the Passenger Pigeons, destined to be shit out through wholesome American guts thanks for a Continent to despoil and poison -- thanks for Indians to provide a modicum of challenge and danger -- thanks for vast herds of bison to kill and skin, leaving the carcass to rot -- thanks for bounties on wolves and coyotes -- thanks for the AMERICAN DREAM to vulgarize and falsify until the bare lies shine through -- thanks for the KKK, for nigger-killing lawmen feeling their notches, for decent church-going women with their mean, pinched, bitter, evil faces -- thanks for "Kill a Queer for Christ" stickers --
