NormJonson and Beckett: Opposite.
Who was it whose works are opposite those of Samuel "The Magnificent Bastard" Beckett? Equal those of Durer and Haydn? None other than Big Ben Trouser Snake Jonson (The Iron Snake-wrangler). Trousers, for short, had two legs that went right up to his torso like some kind of double-sided erection with two flailing limbs and a sharp mind. A brickie's labourer for a good part of that day when he downed tools because his back packed it in, and he shot that dickhead in the pub and went before the court, and got off because his tongue rolled out like some sort of roman blind, and presented to the judiciary the finest assortment of delicacies ever witnessed in a grocers. "What's his caper?" the poor, troubled middle-class whiteboys said when he passed by with his head buried under the nape of his armpit like a duck at the waters edge, or some vandal hanging out the side of a train before being decapitated by a bag-swinging senior. Clearly, in Sam the Man's mind Big Ben represented the opposite body of work to his, as can be verified by his attempt to write a play called Ben Jonson, or something similar. His own body was that of a tall flamenco on a hotplate rushing around from lilly to lilly, with an appendage that an elephant would have been proud of. Hardly surprising that Joyce(James) predicted a bright future for him. At his best, his works have a density and texture that is rarely seen, they can also be as sparse as a carpark. No body should take too much credit for their body of work, we as people are the conduits for our energy. His works are equal to those of Vin van Gogh and John "Birdman" Cage. Don't look at Jonson and say this and that without taking Beckett into account, or the other way around, or upside down on your head. Whatever you do, don't.
