Slothrop is a house divided against himself. Even if he is the one, only
one, there are many hes. Fragmentation incarnate. The continuous stutter
of the word unable to be made into flesh. Such fragmented psyches live
in terror of isolation and abandonment--even as they push away all
attempts to make genuine human contact.

    What if my girlfriend back home
    Finds out what my fingers have been doing
    On my guitar since I been gone?
    Don't anybody tell her,
    I been doing the Low Yo Yo Yo Yo
    Like any other fella
    Away from home, all alone
    Been doing that Low Yo Yo Yo Yo
    Ya, I been really carrying on!

    Fast goes fast
    Slow goes slow
    Rich are rich and the po' are po'
    Everybody's doing the Low Yo Yo Yo Yo
    Everybody's doing it
    Deep down everybody knows they should
    Do the Low Yo Yo Yo Yo
