Dear Beatrice

[Swing Hammerswing]

Sorry Sam, I should certainly include the page #
and not expect you all to know the books by Heart.

"Dear Beatrice"

She wants to know why men can't live in peace.
Benny draws his hearts, not doves,n ot eagles,  but gulls hold the
banner Benny draws on the saw dust on the floor.

Down in Diny Moore's
Why there is saw dust on the floors....
Why they will give you the shirts right up
off of their backs, but theey haven't got none.
Down in Chelsea neighborhhood.

No beat it's a war song.

Fina is a saint, a Joan of Ark, Benny is attracted
to the young vamps and not the virgin fina, he constructs a myth with
an Angel, Angel, what kinda Angel is this guy? Is he the avenging angel of 
the street?

"Together on the stoop they
hammered together a myth.
Because it was not born
from fear of thunder, dreams, astonishments
at how the crops kept dying after harvest and
coming up again every spring, or anything else very
permenant, only a temporary interest, a spur-of-the-moment
tumescence (Benny's Moon and Hard on horniness is kinda
like Slothrop's hardons in that they are wired to
V), it was a myth rickety and transcient as the bandstands
of the sausage-pepper booths of Mulberry Street. Ch.6 of V.



These once  sacred feast days are but movie, western, cut outs
constructed for the day.

But Benny still has some things that are rock solid.
He makes Pig keep his deal, saving the girl from
Fina's fate.
