Expanding -      And flowed, flowered for him, fluid neon origami trick, the unfolding of his distanceless home, his coun- try, transparent 3D chessboard extending to infinity. Inner eye opening to the stepped scarlet pyramid of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority burning beyond the green cubes of Mitsubishi Bank of Amer- ica, and high and very far away he saw the spiral arms of military systems, forever beyond his reach.      And somewhere he was laughing, in a white-painted loft, distant fingers caressing the deck, tears of release streaking his face.
