- W2073043693 abstract "106 Some of My Intimates Bob Hicok Only after looking at the house going up on the mountain across the valley, did I pick up the fat Borges I’ve had for six years and read a few paragraphs about Don Quixote, slipping a pencil in the book when I was done and placing the book on the table beside the window through which I stared at the house. There was an apple in my pocket with a flat spot from when I dropped it on the floor. It rolled under the table before I looked at the house, and I got under the table with the apple, the first time in my life I’d been under a table with an apple. I sat there a while, wondering what else I haven’t done, and then got up and looked at the house and read some Borges. Don Quixote has killed a man in the Borges. I screamed when I read that, feeling this is the honest response to murder when you have a green apple in your pocket. The leaves on the trees on the mountain have turned gold and red and orange. I worry the pencil will, over time, distort the book. But now that I’ve put it there, I don’t think I should take it out, it seems that I gave the moment a particular shape by slipping the pencil between the pages, and that to alter that shape now would be a disavowal of my past. The light on the Borges is gray. I imagine this 107 is the light that was touching Don Quixote when he killed the man and that slipped inside the wound of the man when he was killed. It’s light the sky keeps in a box until it’s winter. I hold the green apple up to this light, it is my opposition, not to winter but to what winter represents, to the house going up on the mountain and the murder in Borges that keeps happening every time someone reads those pages. I suspect there are feelings in the apple, that I’ll never know what it costs the apple to go up against the gray light and the house and the murder. A God would know this, but what a God knows a man cannot know, nor what a dog knows can a man know, nor what a man knows can a man know. They needed a road to put the house up, for days a great felling of trees, the sound of it a growling on the mountain. But in a few years, no one will question that road, it will seem as if the trees one day curtsied and stepped out of the way. There was nothing under the table except me and the apple and my future and the apple’s future. It was an exciting moment of esprit de corps. Bob Hicok ..." @default.
