/the holy and shattering and blessed yage letters (allen & william)
/yage. noun. an hallucinogenic drug obtained from a South American vine, Banisteriopsis caapi (ayahuasca).
/($2.50, city lights, 1975).

"Yage is space time travel. The room seems to shake and vibrate with motion. The blood and substance of many races, Negro, Polynesian, Mountain Mongol, Desert Nomad, Polyglot Near East, Indian--new races as yet unconceived and unborn, combinations not yet realized passes through your body (stasis and death in closed mountain valleys where plants sprout out of your cock and vast crustaceans hatch inside and break the shell of the body), across the Pacific in an outrigger canoe to Easter Island. The Composite City where all human potentials are spread out in a vast silent market.”
― Wiiliam Burroughs to Allen Ginsberg
