'The word is now a virus.
The flu virus may have once been a healthy lung cell.
It is now a parasitic organism that invades,
and damages the central nervous system.
Modern man has lost the option of silence.
Try halting sub-vocal speech.
Try to achieve even ten seconds of inner silence.
You will encounter a resisting organism
that forces you to talk.
That organism is the word..... '.
From 'The Ticket That Exploded'(1962) -William Burroughs
