Gravity's Rainbow

[Mark Kohut]

Twice early in GR, Pirate is said to have no thoughts in his head.
Once that is referred to as
"commando style"....

When he first thinks the rocket is on the way down, maybe less time
now than it takes for light to reach the planet of love and he thinks
about what to do he decides to

Pick bananas. (I am reminded of the buddhist parable of the guy
hanging over a cliff, slipping, and he reaches to pluck strawberries.
)

So lovely of TRP.

Pirates first expressed dreamt fantasies were the words "your sound
will be the sizzling night".
