I found him in a far corner of the caff, sitting
in front of a paper cup about the size of a World
War II mortar shellExcept for a scattering of
nurses and orderlies and one tense-looking family
group in another corner of the room, we had the
place to ourselvesMost of the chairs were
upended on the tables, and a tired-looking lady in
red rayon was working out with a mopAn iPod hung
in a sling between her breasts
"Hola, mi vato," Wireman said, and gave me a wan
smileHis hair, neatly combed back when he made
his entrance with Elizabeth and Jack, had fallen
down around his ears, and there were dark circles
743
around his eyes"Why don't you grab yourself a
cup of coffee? It tastes like factory-made shit,
but it do prop up a person's eyelidsJust let me borrow |

He sighed, picked up his machete, and began to workIn a few seconds Goldstein had joined him
The platoon reached the end of the jungle after five hours of cutting trailThe jungle was bordered by another stream, and on the other side yellow hills covered only with kunai grass or an occasional grove of shrubbery rolled away toward the northThe sunlight was brilliant, reflected with an incredible glare from all the bare hills and the clear blazing arch of the skyThe men, accustomed to the gloom of the jungle, blinked their eyes, were uncertain, a little afraid of the vast open spaces before themIt was all so bare, so painful
All that space!

JOEY GOLDSTEIN
THE COVE OF BROOKLYN
A sturdy man about twenty-seven, perhaps, with blond straight hair and eager blue eyesHis nose is sharp, and there are deep sad lines which extend from his nose to the corners of his mouthIf it were not for this, he would look very youngHis speech is quick and sincere and a little breathless as if afraid he will not be permitted to finish

It seemed that in the end, only time could
issue a divorce decreeAnd that the decree would
be partial at best
I turned her toward meWe were being watched by a
great many people, and I suppose to them it looked
like an embraceI got one
707
glimpse of her wide, startled eyes, and then I was
whispering in her ear
"Yes, the girl in the rowboat is IlseI never
meant her to be there, because I never meant
anythingI never even knew I was going to paint
these pictures until I started doing themAnd
because she's back-to, no one else is ever going
to know unless you or I tell themHer eyes were still wide, her
lips parted as if to receive a kiss"What did
Ilse say?"
"The oddest thing She took me by the sleeve |

Although he had awakened only a few minutes previously, his mind was painfully clear, and beneath the threshold of speech he was containing anxiety
He would transfer HearnIt would be dangerous to keep him under his thumbThere would be further episodes, further rebellions, and it might come to a court-martial, which was always messy, always unpleasantThat time with the cigarette butt, he would have carried it through, as he would now if anything developed, but the appeal could be nasty for himThey would never override him in higher echelons, but it could be a black mark
Hearn would have to goCummings was feeling a mingled triumph and frustrationHe could move Hearn where he wanted, and yet there was still an area of rebellion he had not been able to override completelyHe squinted his eyes against the glare of the lantern, turned it down a trifle, and then kneaded his thigh with one of his hands, realizing with |

The words were slushy
but understandable
It took a step into the living roomI took
another of my numb steps backward, knowing in my
heart it would do no good, that compensation
wasn't enough, that when it got tired of playing
it would simply dart forward and clamp that iron
manacle on my wrist and drag me, screaming, down
to the water, down to the caldo largo, and the
last sound I'd hear on the living side would be
the grating conversation of the shells under the
houseThen the water would fill my ears
I took another step back just the same, not sure I
was even moving toward the door, only hoping, then
anotherand a hand fell on my shoulder

"What the fuck is that thing?" Wireman whispered
in my ear
"I don't know," I said, and I was sobbingLook out at the
