    Why this stillness at Appomattox ?  It seems an awfully 
    long time since I watched a bananafish gulping his last 
    in my cruel net.  Don't tell me the claw of the sea puss 
    has been at work.

    This morning, I go down to the station to be mug shot 
    for my old-age travel pass.  All this in preparation for 
    the great congress in Davy's on Wednesday the thirtieth.  
    I shouldn't want to go through all this humiliation for nothing.  
    
    Where IS everybody ?
