@@@@@”Now let’s
go look at my portraitI want to see what I
looked like back when I still thought Jerry Garcia
could save the world
ii
I’d parked my car in the courtyard, beside
Elizabeth Eastlake’s silver Vietnam War-era
Mercedes-BenzI slid the portrait from my much
humbler Chevrolet, set it on end, and held it up
for Wireman to look atAs he stood there silently
regarding it, a strange thought occurred to me: I
was like a tailor standing beside a mirror in a
men’s clothing storeSoon my customer would
either tell me he liked the suit I’d made for him,
or shake his head regretfully and say it wouldn’t
do

Far off to the south, in what I was coming to
think of as the Duma Jungle, that bird took up its
warning “Oh-oh!” cry again
Finally I couldn’t take it anymore”Say something,
Wireman
But when he looked up from the portrait, I
realized it was trueHe looked like someone had
walloped him on the head with a hammerI
understood by then that what I was doing affected
people, but none of those reactions were quite
like Wireman’s on that March morning
What finally woke him up was a sharp knocking
soundShe was awake and rapping
on her tray”Smoke! Smoke!”
Some things survived even the fog of Alzheimer’s,
it seemedThe part of her brain that craved
nicotine never decayedShe’d smoke until the end
Wireman took a pack of American Spirits from the
pocket of his shorts, shook one out, put it in his
mouth, and lit itThen he held it out to her”If
I let you handle this yourself, are you going to
light yourself on fire, Miss Eastlake?”
537
“Smoke!”
“That’s not very encouraging, dear
But he gave it to her, and Alzheimer’s or no
Alzheimer’s, she handled it like a pro, drawing in
a deep drag and jetting it out through her
nostrilsThen she settled back in her chair,
looking for the moment not like Captain Bligh on
the poop deck but FDR on the reviewing standAll
she needed was a cigarette-holder to clamp between
her teethAnd, of course, some teeth
Wireman returned his gaze to the portra

THE PLATOON passed an uneasy night in the hollowThe men were too tired to sleep well, and shivered in their blanketsWhen it came each man’s turn for guard, he would stumble watch omega up to the crest of the hill and stare over the grass into the valley belowEverything was cold and silver in the moonlight, and the hills had become gauntThe sleeping men in the hollow beneath him were removed and distantEach man on guard felt alone, terribly alone, as though looking out on the valleys and craters of the moonNothing moved, and yet nothing was stillThe wind was wistful and reflective; the grass rustled, hermes kelly bag advanced and retreated in shimmering rustling wavesThe night was intensely silent and pendent
In the dawn they folded their blankets, made their packs, and ate a K ration, chewing slowly, and without relish, the cold tinned ham and eggs and the square graham crackersTheir muscles were stiff from the previous day’s march, and their clothing was damp with yesterday’s perspirationThe older men were wishing that the sun was higher; men omega watch there seemed no warmth left in their bodiesRed’s kidneys were aching again, Roth’s right shoulder was rheumatic, and Wilson had a spasm of diarrhea after he ateThey all felt dull, without volition; they scarcely thought of the march ahead
Croft and Hearn had gone to the top of the hill again, and were discussing the morning’s marchIn the early morning, the valley was still hazy with mist and the mountain and pass were rolex watches women obscu

I looked at the little red picnic basket I’d drawn
- only I thought you called this kind, the kind
with wicker sides, a hamper – and wondered why it
looked so familiarThen I realized it didn’t, not

had come to realize that in many ways it summed up
the others – and it was disturbingThat was why I
covered it with a piece of sheet at the end of my
sessionsNow, looking at it with what I hoped was
a dispassionate eye, I realized disturbing was
probably the wrong word; that baby was fucking
terrifyingLooking at it was like looking at a
mind turned sideways
And maybe it would never be completely done
Certainly there was still room for a red picnic

crammed with figures and details as it wasAlways
room for one more
