William S. Burroughs: The Cat Inside
There's a game I used to play with Ed, the albino cat, called "I'm going to get my little Ed!" and he rushes under the sofa, under the bed, into the front room. It's a game that children like, and they giggle and run. "Don't get me!" Calico Jane likes to play this game.I used to play it with Billy in the Algiers house: "Where's my Willy?"
In a dream I am in the house at 4664 Pershing Avenue where I was born. On the second floor, at the entrance to my old bedroom, I encounter a little blond child waiting there. "Are you Willy?" I ask.
"I'm anybody to anybody who loves me," he answers.
