Until the mine explodes (active).  Dixon's fist can
remain where he placed it, stationary and passive, and
do the damage reported in this episode, as a result of
the slave-driver coming after his whip, no further
movement or action necessary by Dixon's fist.  

Indeterminate, but not quite a cul-de-sac, each of
these options branch out and merge with other
interpretations, a tapestry of readings woven by
pynchonoids.

Back to Chapter 8 (of the book I have to turn in
Monday afternoon)...

...serenaded by the youthful piano player in the room,
getting deeper into Beethoven's Sonata Op. 2 No. 3,
thrilling despite the occasional mistake...


Victualizing (actively, virtually) P-list peas,
