It means nothing. You must remember that William S. Burroughs wrote the bulk of the book (I wouldn't call it a novel) while in rehab for his (fairly serious) heroin addiction, so he was locked in a small white room alone with a typewriter. In addition, it was the first book in which he used the 'cut up' method, which involves taking a book apart and randomly putting it back together, hence the seemingly random choppiness of the book.
It gets far weirder, so don't try to coprehend what he 'meant', because he probably meant nothing- just sit back and enjoy the ride 
"In reality, the difference is, that the savage lives within himself while social man lives outside himself and can only live in the opinion of others, so that he seems to receive the feeling of his own existence only from the judgement of others concerning him."- Jean-Jacques Rousseau
"The emancipation of the working class must be the work of the workers themselves.â€- Flora Tristan
"Both those on the East and those on the West should be clear with the fact that we are not moving away from our road that we beat the path for in '48. That is to say, that we have our own ways. We always bravely say what is right on this side and what is not, and what is right on the other side, and what is not. It should be clear to everyone that we cannot be an appendage to anybody's politics, that we have our own point of view and that we know the worth of what is right, and what is not right."- Josip Tito
