Brookline Boulevard and the snapped oar are linked here as if street life and primal memory belonged to the same mythic file.
The page is short, but its juxtaposition is powerful. The mob belongs to local civic life, while the lake and Rusty's childhood pull toward older elemental memory, and the broken oar keeps both images tied to rupture.

Two images set against each other in shouting capitals and quiet: 'THE MOB of BROOKLINE Blvd' and then 'The Boat on the LAKE, with Rusty AS A child. SNAPPING of THE OAR.' The snapped oar is planted here as a seed; it returns across the Big Bear Lodge pages as the notebook's central broken-moment.
