Mexico's Vis[itat]ion

[David &/or Jane]

It all starts with a long hair (Jessica's?) in his mouth as he awakens,
apart from her.  It is a message told in its taste.  Then, escalation to
Pure Paranoia, as he slips into identification with Slothrop, and he KNOWS
(he is Slothrop) he's surrounded by FREAKS!!! out to get him!  Response?
"I want OUTTA here! ANYWHERE but here!!!"

Then, THEN! ...
------
(125.32)  He was taken over then, for half a minute, [...] visited, not
knowing till it passed how clearly he was seeing [in that instant of
possession] the honest half of his life that Jessica was now.
------

Details of Roger's vis(itat)ion are not revealed till the next episode of
"Roger and Jessica," (174-177) but there are previews.

Roger is in full-bore (boar?) love.  He realizes that Jessica is what
make's life worth living.  At least that's what LOVE tells him.  But what
Roger's really in love with is the "V," vulva, woman-kind, amd all that
goes with it.  What might "all that" be?  For Roger, it means foremost
"Life," big "L."  Problem is, the "real" Jessica's got a lotta "V" in
her...  but she's NOT pure "V."

Here is the preview:
--------
(126.1)  not knowing till [the vision passed] how fanatically his mother
the War must disapprove of her [Jessica's] beauty, her cheeky indiference
to death-institutions he'd not so long ago believed in.
--------

"Not so long ago believed in" was just a half-minute before the visitaion
left him, or not long after.  Roger's conversion is as Saul's on the road
to Damascus: struck down, blinded bt the light, 180 degree turnaround in a
moment's notice.

To be continued.... (GRGR(8))....
