In the park you see things.
But not what I saw tonight.
God, God...
I wanted to be dreaming but I was awake, smelling chili meat and
onions and the pine trees.
First, the car drove up to the edge of the parking lot. They got
out and talked and he grabbed her, like in a hug. I thought maybe
they were going to kiss and I''d watch that.
Then all of a sudden, she made a weird sound--surprised, squeaky,
like a cat or dog that gets stepped on.
He let go of her and she fell. Then he bent down next to her and
his arm started moving up and down really fast. I thought he was
punching her, and that was bad enough, and I kept thinking should I
do something. But then I heard another sound, fast, wet, like the
butcher at Stater Brothers back in Watson chopping meat--chuck
chuck chuck.
He kept doing it, moving his arm up and down.
I wasn''t breathing. My heart was on fire. My legs were cold. Then
they turned hot-wet.
Pissing my pants like a stupid baby!
The chuck chuck stopped. He stood up, big and wide, wiped his hands
on his pants. Something was in his hand and he held it far from his
body.
He looked all around. Then in my direction.
Could he see me, hear me--smell me?
He kept looking. I wanted to run but knew he''d hear me. But staying
here could trap me--how could he see anything behind the rocks?
They''re like a cave with no roof, just cracks you can look through,
which is the reason I picked them as one of my places.
My stomach started to churn around, and I wanted to run so badly my
leg muscles were jumping under my skin.
