Notes on Pynchon and stuff

Sweet kiss of summer.
Through my window, gentle motion,
honeysuckle kiss and enough time.
Time to write in the twenty-third person.
Did Pynchon have time to read his last novel?
Time is a river, no, ocean of unfinished brilliance.
No, time is rise and fall, the comic resurrection.
No, time is whiskey, the water of life, the cycle.
Ah, Finnegans wake at the Dubliner each Friday.
Rise and roll back down to the ocean, symbolic.
Did Joyce have time to read his last novel?
Music ended in 1984, or 1884.
It used to put you back in your seat,
like that guy with a flying tie in front of a speaker.
It all went digital and never sounded the same.
All kinds of things went underground then,
back into some universal cycle.
