amgreene (Andrew Marc Greene):
Here I am, alone again,
My back to the door that has closed behind me,
That *I* closed behind me.
I boldly stride forth towards the rising sun....
Here I am, alone again,
My feet on the road that will pass beneath me,
Will stretch before me.
I boldly stride forth under the midday sun....
Here I am, alone again,
My face to the cliff that drops off before me,
That was formed before me.
I boldly stride forth into the setting sun....
Here I am, alone again,
My hand on the door that stands beside me,
With none besides me.
I boldly stride forth into eternal blackness....

No, I'm not really this messed up. I just need to write it.
This is my therapy.
Don't mind me....

>From an interview with Genesis P-Orridge (in the Re/Search
Industrial Culture Handbook, p. 17):
GENESIS: I used to do things like stick severed chickens' heads over
my penis, and then try and masturbate them, whilst pouring maggots
all over it ...
In Los Angeles, in 1976, at the Institute of Contemporary Arts
(LAICA), Cosey and I did a performance where I was naked. I drank
a bottle of whisky and stood on a lot of tacks. And then I gave
myself enemas with blood, milk and urine, and then broke wind so a
jet of blood, milk and urine combined shot across the floor in front of
Chris Burden and assorted visual artists. I then licked it off the floor,
which was a not-clean concrete floor.
Then I got a 10-inch nail and tried to swallow it, which made me
vomit. Then I licked the vomit off the floor and Cosey helped me lick
the vomit off the floor. And she was naked and trying to sever her
vagina to her navel--well, she cut it from her vagina to her navel
with a razor blade, and she injected blood into her vagina which then
trickled out, and we then sucked the blood from her vagina into a
syringe and injected it into eggs painted black, which we then tried
to eat. And we vomited again, which we used for enemas.
Then I needed to urinate, so I urinated into a large glass bottle
and drank it all while it was still warm. (This was all improvised.)
And then we gradually crawled to each other, licking the floor clean
('cause we don't like to leave a mess, y'know; after all, it's not fair to
insult an art gallery). Chris Burden, who's known for being
outrageous, walked out with his girlfriend, saying, "This is not art,
this is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen, and these people are
sick."
