After about three minutes on the open road, Dewitt arrived in Harvard Square and vomited from exhaustion. Deciding that he needed to pace himself, Dewitt took a load off in front of Easy Rider (Brattle Theater). Given Dewitt's current endeavor, it was the perfect choice, a classic film about the groovy days of the late 60s and early 70s.

It's all in my head, Dewitt thought. The whole banana, from the Peace Decade to the Me Decade, is contained within my own existence. I am the Walt Whitman of my times, of all times. After years of fruitless searching, Dewitt had ended his quest...
