V2nd - Chapter 8 - PFU? no...

[Mark Kohut]

And I just read, in the last pages of Freedom, when the estranged wife comes to 
her
husband's place where she was sitting on the front step in the dark. "She was 
wearing blue jeans
and a thin corduroy jacket. Her legs were drawn up to her chest for warmth, her 
chin resting
on her knees.".........................

Classic female pose, in this case not seductive as is..............

Mafia wore a knit dress of some fabric that could be seen through.
She sat with her chin on her knees so that the lower part of the skirt
fell away.



Uh, Oh...and, if I may, may I suggest that this is a g'damn seductive 'position'
as most men would say and as just about all women older than the very young
are aware is, it is like a stolen under the rose peek ---Right? vote, vote 
now!,male or female---even without 
a g'damn see-through dress---and, as many men would continue to say, trying
to get a look up that skirt happens a lot and might be why Profane has gotten
prone--better to look up under that 'fall-away"---what a fine resonance/entendre
to the phrase "fall away skirt' in the context of a couple soon prone on a bed, 
parallel,
with Mafia wanting to 'touch noses', that ole Eskimo kiss notion............

At times, TRP packs in the resonances with the simplest words.....

whaddaya mean, sat with her chin on her knees?  Pynchon fucked up! ---
no, I get it, Benny's in the fetal position (like James Dean...) on
the bed, she's sitting on the bed on her butt, knees up, hands either
propping in back or around her shins, and her chin can really be on
her knees!


"Soon without anyone realizing it there was a party.  Fu wandered in,
got on the phone and started calling people.  Girls appeared
miraculously at the front door, which had been left open.  Someone
turned on the FM [no static at all:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roLFgBDIS6s ], someone else went out
for beer.  Cigarette smoke began to hang from the low ceiling in murky
strata.  Two or three members got Profane off in a corner and began to
indoctrinate him in the ways of the Crew.  He let them lecture, and
drank beer."

move up to Manhattan, and fill the place with friends...
