Upon a Sea of Dirt

I will follow the route of Pynchon’s novel. Portsmouth to Cape Town visiting St. Helena along the way. The scoundrels boatswains call girls peddlers merchants of global antiquities cookeries boot heel steppers suspender snappers whistlers and brutes. A chorale of broken heartedness sung by nose smashers. Wood carvers steel benders and fish mongers. Rope braiders dealing to net weavers. Small fortune gamblers heavy coffee gulping speed racers and never-ending storytellers. Hard livers no-quitters and back to basics down-and-outers. Melancholic timepiece winders gothic door slammers and weeping bed makers. 

All of them I will find buried under the dirt. And I will go there.

Yours Truly

…And yet, d’ye not feel sometimes that ev’rything since the Fight at sea has been, — not a Dream, yet…”
“Aye. As if we’re Lodgers inside someone else’s Fate, whilst belonging quite someplace else…?”
“Nothing’s as immediate as it was…. We might have died then, after all, and gone on as Ghosts. Haunting this place, waiting to materialize,— perhaps just at the moment of the Transit, the moment the Planet herself becomes Solid….
Mason & Dixon Ch 7 Thomas Pynchon
