VV(9) - The Dream Street

[David Morris]

When Benny's sheltered days beneath the street and within the mercy of Fina 
are over Benny has to return to the "dream street (39)."

The "dream street" associates Disassembly with Death.  To combine these two 
is to associate the mechanical with the living.  Benny's identification with 
the inanimate is thus established.  He wants to be (or dreads being) an 
object, buffeted by the wind.

The Animate are only thus as long as their springs are still wound, the 
switch is still on, so long as they still move.

But, so far, Man is incapable of Creation:  He cannot bring life out of the 
abyss.  He has only proven himself to be an apt mechanic of the found parts. 
  Will he be more prudent than the billions of monkeys throwing their 
wrenches into the machinery of Evolution?
