| The waterfront again, but
after a strange feeling of lassitude, another feeling,
like everything is happening inside a dream or maybe
everything is happening too fast and there's nothing I
can do about it. The commies
from the boat show up, with the beautiful
dark-haired girl in tow. She's wearing a bathing
suit, one of those two-piecers like they wear on the
Riviera. And then Feynman is there, but I didn't see him
come in. And then a car rolls up. Boots and Tony Bongo
get out and open the door for a blonde
babe wearing sun glasses and a dress. Blonde. It's Her. But if I'm seeing her and Bongo
together, what does that mean? A door to another place
opens and suddenly I'm seeing the alien, although I'm not
sure if I'm actually seeing it or if I'm dreaming it. And
suddenly I'm on the deck of the boat but I can't remember
how I got there, maybe I'm only dreaming it, and I have a
gun out and I'm holding back the commies. And I think I
shot somebody. Yes, I see Tony Bongo
lying on the deck and I remember thinking "he's
fixed now" and I've grabbed the dark-haired girl and
because Tony Bongo is fixed, Lily can leave. And there's
Lily hugging and kissing Feynman goodbye, but before she
disappears she looks at me and points to the dark-haired
girl, only I don't know what it means. I don't know what
any of it means. |
