"profane kicked off his shoes - old black loafers of geronimo's - and
concentrated on dancing on his socks." (136)
like travolta in pulp fiction. dancing with naked feet is a natural thing to
do, and dancing in shoes could be called cultivated. but dancing on socks is
definetely --- schlemielesque. and so the next sentence does not really come
as a surprise:
"after awhile dolores was there again and five seconds later a spike heel came
down square in the middle of his foot."
