Burroughs is also mentioned in J. T. Gillett's poem "This Is My Last Poem" ("Bill Burroughs says language is a virus from outer space. / I just want to know why I am writing about viruses / when I could be watching reruns of Gilligan's Island / or reading Mondo 2000.")

Published in San Francisco, CA. by City Lights in 1994.
