GRGR(16) - Those "Eeenes"

Morphine, "Dionine (345.7)," Caffeine, "Oneirine, Methoneirine (348.7)," and 
_Tchitcherine_?  This can't be an accident, but what's the message?  It's 
got something to do with all his being "a giant supermolecule with so many 
open bonds available at any given time. (346.5)"

It's also got something to do with his role as "the Westwardman"  his 
faithful companion Whappo, AKA Chu Piang.  Theirs is the relationship of a 
superior and an inferior, but not exactly master and servant, more directly 
like Batman and Robin, Tonto and the Lone Ranger.  The homosexual overtones 
are notoriously obvious.  It is a union, a companionship.

In Tyrone's dream, and in the case of these two, it is a union of 
degeneracy.  Both parties have "open bonds" which gravitate them toward 
"undesirables, sub rosa enemies of order, counterrevolutionary odds and ends 
of humanity."  By the structure of their relationship, they are products of 
the "Order's" power-structure.  By their inner natures they are the unwanted 
counter-force to that same order.  This is some form of synthesis in their 
beings.

--------
(348.11)  The [American] National Research Council has begun a massive 
program to explore the morphine molecule [...] a Ten-Year Plan, coinciding 
most oddly with the classic study of large molecules [Tchitcherine] being 
carried on by DuPont, the Great Synthesist.  Connection?  Of course there's 
one, but we don't talk about it.
--------

These two are frontiersmen, one conquered, one conquering.  But both are 
outsiders, enjoying their fringe existence, unsuitable for prime time, but 
useful.

Is this Kirhiz land also the Zone?  The Zone is a place where freedom 
exists, for a time.  As w/ the Gaucho's realm, it is without marks on its 
pristine paper, a void which the Order cannot stand.  The question inherent 
in this line of inquiry asks about the relationship of the Rebel to the 
Order.  Tchitcherine worships rebellion, but he lives his own version within 
Their realm.  Is the only alternative to this arrangement his own death?  
Maybe.

Only riffing,
David Morris
