Buddyland

by Clint Burnham

The original Vancouver Subhumans meet Wyndham Lewis in a back alley, beat the hell out of him, take all of his money, use it to buy drugs and booze, then sit down in a seedy Gastown bar and begin to write poetry based on the contents of Lewis's briefcase. The results might be something like Buddyland.
