[Franklin'sMan]

The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch

In every man I see, it’s you I see.
Mechanical handed, you masticate,
with mechanical teeth, better CAN-D.
You’re proximate cause for a better fate
than pliable Pat. You substantiate
that grief is truest here. A bubble head
won’t get a girl who’d go obliviate
her self. A god would get it. I am lead
through darkest Martian nights, revive what’s dead
in me, when I Chew-Z. I am Chew-Z,
and one with God when you choose me. My head
is yours, my heart, and through your eye I see
that death has come for me in you, and you,
in me, will see the best of me, in you.

Hope this amuses my fellow Dickheads here (if there are any). If you've not read the book, I would guess this thing is little more than gobbly gook

On some level, I hate that I understand this. I think you captured a lot of Dick's drug trip that resulted in this novel. Very cool.

I'm glad you liked it. When writing this, I better understood that story than I had when reading it. I hadn't realized how troubling it is. Still a good read, though.
