Pachuco

In the midst of reading Luis Valdez' Zoot Suit, I began to realize again that I am a slow reader and I am glad that I am not repeating (in my works), the ideas created by Valdez, in particular the gang aspect of barrio life. I'm not sure how well it would work for poems anyway. But I'm appreciating his use of the Pachuco. I am curious to know if it is common to have a character jump between narrator to character. It reminds me of a Jean luc Godard film, where the story is being narrated in a distinct manner by the character.

A small line I have been playing with as I try some new exercise along a lake:

ghost shell
