HOBBLEDEHOY
From the open window of my apartment—the winds of? an early
spring fluttering the cotton cui'tains and the April sky, the soot­
grey-early-morning April sky, hiding hiding and holding back the
memories of other yester rains; the rains of my childhood, the rains
of my youth, the rains of things past, and now the rains of my
world* reflecting in this beer glass—spiralling now, spiralling dizzily,
staircasing crazily, spinning like all the champagne corkscrews, of
the world twisted at once and exploding with a short BOP and dying
with a FFFfffsssh.
When was it when we were young and stood in short pants
and faded summer shirts under green trees picking off the mintperfumed buds and depositing them into emipty orange tea boxes ?
Do I really remember sitting on the side of the road at the bottom
of our hill caking out mud patterns from a. metal cupcake pan, and
suddenly looking- up at the top of the hill for no special reason and
seeing a soldier, a .brown /uniformed soldier, holding a girl in his
arms and kissing her and the smoky evening sun setting behind
them ?

The pictures of the past are starting to focus well now. Don’t
hold back; let it come too quickly or too slowly, it doesn’t matter.
Don’t try to put it in order; let it rest or let it rush, it doesn’t
matter. Spin, spin and make me dizzy again so I can keep up with
you.
I see my little forest now; my little green forest that lays in
a hill beside our frame house, with a white rock cliff on one side
and tall shoots of faded yellow grass, swords used in my many day­
dreaming duels, growing from the side. Let us climb up this white
rock cliff, determined little mountaineers answering the unexplain­
able call of the mountains, and enter the shoded cool■ of my green
forest. Do you hear those pleasant sounds of summer; warm and
rustling and the'insect life murmuring like muted castanets and
your brown running-shoes, with the super grips corrugated on the
soles, treading Indian-fashion along your secret path. You stop sud­
denly at the edge of a clearing and see the rich girl’s 'big house and
her own playhouse standing beside it. You must be careful now and
make sure no one is around. Try one of your secret bird signals;
Tweee-tweeet! Tweee-tweee 1 Just to be on the safe side you. better
try a few wolf calls, just to jbe sure. A’wooo! A’woo-a’woo! A’wooo!
There, that should do it. A’huli, just like I planned; no one around.
Treading Indian fashion again, up to the door of the playhouse, the
beautiful white door with the real glass, opening it and entering.
Wow! A real clock on the wall. Look at all the toys: a real play­
stove and toy cup and saucers and stuff, and look, four dolls in
little beds. What was that? That noise. Someone’s coming. No, that
was just the wind. That was a scare. My heart’s still beating like
crazy. T better get out of here. Do your business on the dolls before
you go. Ha ha ha. That’s right. Ha ha ha. What was that? Someone
is coming. Watch it, you’re splashing on your shoes. Run run, open
the door and run. Don’t look back. Run. Gome on super-grips dig.
Chest out, breathe through mouth, swing arms with motion of legs;
run, run. Leaving a trail of dirt with the super-grips kicking high;
and the wild yell of a band of bloodthirsty Indians echoing through
the forest.
