I am struck dumb, bored by those with outward manifestations of deviance which reflects their inner timidity. The pierced tongue, the visible tattoo, the dyed hair.

The only tattoo with any real meaning in the 21st-century is that of the concentration camp. Marilyn Manson, Dennis Rodman. They are mere celebrities - not Nietzschean supermen. So "shocking" - yet so easy.

So much more striking are the revolutionary minds in the grey flannel suits. The Burroughses, the Batailles, the mild-mannered librarians that are really the supermen of the avant-garde, the perverse, the erotic.
