    Harrison State Park '68

    Stephen King
    Published in "Ubris", 1968

    "All mental disorders are simply detective strategies for handling difficult life situations.''

    Thomas Szasz

    ''And I feel like homemade shit.''

    Ed Sanders

    - Can you do it ?

    She asked shrewdly

    From the grass where her nylon legs

    in gartered splendor

    made motions.

    - Can you do it ?

    Ah!

    What do I say?

    What are the cools?

    Jimmy Dean?

    Robert Mitchum?

    Soupy Sales?

    Modern Screen Romances is a tent on the grass

    Over a dozen condoms

    in a quiet box

    and the lady used to say

    (before she passed away)

    - If you can't be an athlete,

    be an athletic supporter.

    The moon is set.

    A cloud scum has covered the

    stars.

    A man with a gun has passed

    this way

    BUT -

    we do not need your poets.

    Progressed beyond them to

    Sony

    Westinghouse

    Cousin Brucie

    the Doors

    and do I dare

    mention Sonny and Cher ?

    I remember Mickey Rooney

    as Pretty Boy Floyd

    and he was the shortest Pretty Boy Floyd

    on record

    coughing his enthusiastic

    guts out in the last

    reel.

    We have not spilt the blood.

    They have spilt the blood.

    A little girl lies dead

    On the hopscotch grid

    No matter

    - Can you do it?

    She asked shrewdly

    With her Playtex living bra

    cuddling breasts

    softer than a handful of wet Fig Newtons.

    Old enough to bleed

    Old enough to slaughter

    The old farmer said

    And grinned at the white

    Page 2
    Haystack sky

    With sweaty teeth

    (radiation

    radiation

    your grandchildren will be

    monsters)

    I remember a skeleton

    In Death Valley

    A cow in the sunbleached throes of antiseptic death

    and someone said:

    - Someday there will be skeletons

    on the median strip of the Hollywood Freeway

    staring up at exhaust-sooty pigeons

    amidst the flapping ruins of

    Botany 500

    call me Ishmael.

    I am a semen.

    - Can you do it?

    She asked shrewdly

    When the worms begin

    their midnight creep

    and the dew has sunk white to

    milk the grass...

    And the bitter tears

    Have no ducts

    The eyes have fleshed in.

    Only the nose knows that

    A loser is always the same.

    There is a sharp report.

    It slices the night cleanly

    And thumps home with a tincan spannnng!

    Against the Speed Limit sign down the road.

    Page 3
    Laughter

    The clean clear sound of a bolt levered back...

    Silence...

    Spannng!

    "Aileen, if poachers poached peaches, would the

    poachers peel the peaches to eat with poached eggs

    poached before peaches?"

    oh don’t

    don’t

    please touch me

    but don’t

    don’t

    and I reach for your hand

    but touch only the radiating live pencils

    of your bones:

    -- Can you do it?
