I shall be rabidly loose associating,
hoping a few coins bring a jackpot.
My premise is D represents the son-of-self,
like Jesus, like me, Hamlet, Samsa Gregor,
and like I recognize in many classic poets.
Yet the self-existant has to come into being
in some family before the metamorphosis, by
autofellatio, a fall, initiating the working
towards the second birth, not found by many.
In Hamlet, I claim Uncle Claudius is actually
the biological father, but the dead ghost is
Hamlet's true spiritual father, hamlet himself.
Here I perceive Coetzee has laid out the true
(as in ghost, self-father-of-self) father on
character Isaev, (dead I presume?) and central
male character D (not narrator, but all is in
his POV right?) is working out cosmic MYSTERY,
oscillating roles between the son-of-self Pavel
and father-of-self Isaev. (Reminds me of Isaac.)
Everything connects, as for the schizophrenic.
Hop in!
(BTW, I was given "Hop in!" audibly,
just in time, as with ineluctable.)
A droshky or drosky (Russian: дрожки) is a term used for several types of
carriage, including:
A low, four-wheeled open carriage used especially in Russia. It consists of a
long bench on which the passengers ride sideways or astride, as on a saddle,
with their feet on bars near the ground.[1]
Various two-wheeled or four-wheeled public carriages used in Russia and other
countries.[2]
The name comes from the Russian droga, pole of a wagon.

Wow, glad I looked!
Recall the Griffen-drawn chariot ending Dante's Purgatory:
After this fashion round the tree robust
The others shouted; and the twofold creature:
"Thus is preserved the seed of all the just."
And turning to the pole which he had dragged,
He drew it close beneath the widowed bough,
And what was of it unto it left bound.
N.B. pole; widowed
And recall my post of three workmen with ear protectors
(I heard today, "due to sin," hence deaf mortals): The
third drove-in a puller and trailer, which lowered, and
it was nothing but one huge rod of iron, like a crane,
as I once posted, but today, like the droshky here.
This is the biological father's penis. (Need I use phallus?)
Someone must deliver the seed of David to Mary. (You may
have been instructed wrongly. Jesus was born of a virgin,
but the virgin was himself. Mary was just a space donor.)
That makes the droshky driver dad (as too later).
63: Just short of 64, or 8x8. But to a programmer,
the final number representable in 6 bits, [0-63].
demode: out of fashion? or, timeless, ancient
"Wait for me" cf. "I will not abandon you" later.
Haymarket suggests Jesus' manger, vs. inn later.
Now the tall old tenement is also a mother figure.
So flanking flimsies might represent her breasts?
