Yes, because like Poe, whose requirement for ruminative prose was, unlike Jack, whose bulletproof condition could 'hear the grass grow,'
he needed a modicum, as in Salinger's Bunker-writing out-building lair, where sexy College Chicks could tend to him and then leave him be, to that Great unpublished bullet in his chamber, really a safe, and never will be published, because he wants it that way, and after all, those girls are now grown but still remember, and obey.
Jack was the first Houseproud Stay-at-Home Beat, and his Mom cooked him whatever it was he wanted to eat
and like they didn't dig that like that.

Jerry Lee spake to me through the Bard, as told and shewn one gloaming meeting of mine and hers, in his childhood room, Frankie Jean, his sister and I sat on his childhood bed in the museum she'd made of it and talked a lot about things that no one should really know but she;
but I already knew when to quit after being karate chopped by the Killer backstage at the Ritz for having to much brains ofr the head, as told to me also by Frankie Jean, which was a thing, one of the only things they had that they took out of that swamp where they lived with snakes falling through the roof, Frankie Jean wrote out by Kerosene Lantern, a pretty good little first effort for a child, a song called End of the Road, her brother when signed to Sun recorded and had a small hit with, but forever will always remind me of her and I holding hands where she wrote it and talking about all the people hanging from the trees on Black River -- playing --
or knowing her, she made me think I did, which was doing fine, and then she got up, once more the clearing of the throat (well, she had to have had some kind of mild condition, and it might as well be minor Tourette's with a little Coprolalia thrown in for good measure, in case you were wondering why in the fuck she was always clearing her throat), and reached up to the top of the closet filled with miraculous things only known to her -- the best kind of curator, and she knew I knew the second it came down that what else would she show me that no one else would ever care or even know, or dare to think would be right within reach, and she handed me a small worn, dogeared Program from 1969, San Francisco, of Catch My Soul, with all the cast's signatures -- of which only one is memorable today, as her brother, whose Iago, the Dark Moor, some jokes there about it better left to the Bard to here, and his great anxiety at taking on the part ...
in situ entry, still remaining -- Tosches, Sam Phillips, Dewey Phillips, J.W. Whitten, Kenneth Lovelace, method of loci (loci being Latin for "places") is a strategy of memory enhancement which uses visualizations of familiar spatial environments in order to enhance the recall of information. The method of loci is also known as the memory journey, memory palace, or mind palace technique. This method is a mnemonic device adopted in ancient Roman and Greek rhetorical treatises (in the anonymous Rhetorica ad Herennium and Quintilian's Institutio Oratoria).
Many memory contest champions report using this technique to recall faces, digits, and lists of words on psychology, neurobiology, and memory.
The method of loci', an imaginal technique known to the ancient Greeks and Romans and Yates book The Art of Memory.
the subject memorizes layout of building, or arrangement of geographical entity composed of a number of discrete loci.
desiring recall, subject 'walks' through these loci in imagination and commits each, forming image, item, and feature locus.
Retrieval by walking through loci, allow efficacy inestimable interference
