Buckle is an interesting Word. Since I haven't spouted lately,
new readers may not know that my single interest in Pynchon is
that I recognize in his work some isomorphisms of autofellatio.

Pynchon's 42 inch tall Nerissa, I say, is in fact a normal sized
man who is standing, while bent over (buckled?) in autofellatio.

GR's rocket coming across the sky is modeled on the more common
discovery position of AF, inverted as Atlas shouldering the world.

The self-begotten self-conception and declaration of His father
by a virgin (not Mary, but Jesus) is The Word, the baptism and
eucharist, theogony and theurgy, the metanoia and metamorphosis,
the final referent of Christianity and other religions and myths.

So of course, pornography is needful reference material to Kafka.

Lest I seem phallologocentric, I find Emily Dickinson's collected poems
to be a payan to autocunnilingus, and its metaphysical concommitents.

Amongst The Words, which include both Christ and Satan, a Certain Word
might have in mind a distinguished subset, perhaps the good, or the bad.

Yours truly,
