sadness too and which is expressed later by Monsanto when he says "This is
the kind of place where a person should really be alone, you know? When you
bring a big gang here it somehow desecrates it not that I'm referring to us
or anybody in particular? there's such a sad sweetness to those trees as tho
yells shouldnt insult them or conversation only" - Which is just the way I
feel too.
In a gang we all go down the path towards the sea, passing underneath
"That sonofabitch bridge" Cody calls it looking up with horror... "That
thing's enough to scare anybody away" - But worst of all for an old driver
like Cody, and Dave too, is to see that upended old chassis in the sand,
they spend a half hour poking around the wreckage and shaking their heads -
We kick around the beach awhile and decide to come back at night with
bottles and flashlights and build a huge bonfire, now it's time to get back
to the cabin and cook those steaks and have a ball, and there's McLear's
jeep already arrived and parked and there's McLear himself and that
beautiful blonde wife of his in her tight blue jeans that makes Dave say
"Yum yum" and Cody just say "Yes, that's right, yes, that's right, ah hum
honey, yes. "

A roaring drinking bout begins deep in the canyon - Fog nightfall
sends cold seeping into the windows so all these softies demand that the
wood windows be closed so we all sit there in the glow of the one lamp
coughing in the smoke but they dont care - They think it's just the steaks
smoking over the fire - I have one of the jugs in my hand and I won't let

wanta read my "Sea" poem too - But Cody and Dave Wain are talking about
something else and that silly kid Ron Blake is singing like Chet Baker -
Arthur Ma is drawing in the corner, and it sorta goes like this generally:
"That's what old men do, Cody, they drive slowly backwards in Safeway
Supermarket parking lots" - "Yes that's right, I was tellin you about that
bicycle of mine but that's what they do yes you see that's because while the
old woman is shoppin in that store they figure they'll park a little closer
to the entrance and so they spend a half hour to think their big move out
and they back in out slowly from their slot, can hardly turn around to see
what's in back, usually nothin there, then they wheel real slow and trembly
to that slot they picked but all of a sudden some cat jumps in it with his
pickup and them old men is scratchin their heads saying and whining "Owww,
these young fellers nowadays" and all that obvious, ah, yes, but that
BICYCLE of mine in Denver I tell you I had it twisted and that wheel used to
wobble so by necissity I had to invent a new way to maneuver them handlebars
see... " - 'Hey Cody have a drink, " I'm yelling in his ear and meanwhile
McLear is reading: "Kiss my thighs in darkness the pit of fire" and Monsanto
is chuckling saying to Fagan: "So this crazy character comes down stairs and
