(didn't Joyce write something about "the big wide harse of Willingdone,
this way to the museyroom" (and, like Bigfoot...) "mind your head going in")

 and of course Pound: "usura contra naturam est"

right?  ok, and but so, what is a good noir novel without
a character realizing exactly how morally dubious he is,
and how can he realize that without first not knowing it?

Just so happened I was feeling justified in myself, and needing
help in casting down that golden crown too...

"the betrayals of which I am part" - Roy Harper (McGoohan's Blues)
"my Lord is crucified, and I should laugh?" (some saint...can't remember atm...)

right on!  the rich get richer, and the poor get...children...

so the guy in the white baggies, right, riding way out there beyond
any "locals-only" turf conflict, he's the guy to emulate...
in fact, maybe he could be the ideal narrator, aware and forgiving
of all the flatland flaws...
