"Then falling back to sleep, dreamt of an apartment I had, a huge cottage
with a long rugged entranceway glass enclosed, pillows along the corridor
to the room, we're out in Berkeley, we meet 2 young girls, they take us to
their apt, up on street of Haste--businesss streeet, 2nd fl. over a
garage, small room, a man comes in bald, thin, bent, Gary's father, the
broken wit of the scene, a half hunchback, mechanic, Chess, reads love
Sagas & Sutras, lays the girls, digs us, and we all go off to my house,
there a boy appears, dressed in rags, another of their bunch, I sit on
pillow in hall watching him thru glass loiter at my door, his pants, his
crotch, ragged, razor holes, plucked cloth full of moth breaks & holes,
DuPeru like, then Neal comes up, brings him in, looks, asks, Can the
upstarirs porch people see in here (landlady rumours?). I say look & see,
_No_, so he settled his suitcase down in the hall, says, I'll stay here,
I'll live here then, in and out, just to change clothes roll tea & ball,
go to work & Los Gatos, and also the young fellow, he'll settle with
us--and I realize with joy a new hip younger generation of real
interesting deadbeat bum secret conspirers in mechanic Bobbysox attitre
has appeared before us."
