"Since I was ten," said Doc, I wanted you
to take me and Willy to America. I kept
hoping, ev'ry Birthday, this would be the
year. I knew next time you'd take us."
[773.04]
cf:
Either you have stumbled... onto a secret
richness and concealed density of dream;
onto a network by which X number of
Americans are truly communicating whilst
reserving their lies, recitations of routine
and betrayal of spiritual poverty, for the
official government delivery system; maybe
even onto a real alternative to the
exitlessness, to the absence of surprise to
life, that harrows the head of everybody
American you know, *and you too,* sweetie.
Or you are hallucinating it. Or a plot has been
mounted against you... Or you are fantasying
some such plot... [COL49, p170-1, H&R, 1986]
