Takeshi Fumimota the Message Carrier

[RICHARD ROMEO]

>From our esteemed Japanese colleague: 



 "Then this will make sense. For we can now see it fits in the pattern of 
the recurrent appearance of message carriers in _Vineland_, beginning 
with the 

"carrier pigeons . . . each bearing a message" (VL 3) through DL's 
"message 

from beyond" (VL 122) and many others."



Strange I wrote a haiku a while back thinking of:    the battle of 
Midway, getting high...



Pigeons above high-noon midnight

 open pacific

blaze of blue cover-stars!



One of them weird coincidences...picture yourself on the deck of the 
Hiryu (if memory serves or if the drugs are good).  No offense to Mr. 
Y.K.  in Tokyo.
