- W4376543606 abstract "My Lost Pilot Cathy Smith Bowers (bio) for James Tate, 943–2015 You seemed inordinately old, or drunk, at least,though in reality you were neither. We were ata conference in Miami, talking in the hotel bar between sessions about your Lost Pilot, I askingwhat it had been like, winning the Yale at sucha young age. Worst thing that ever happened to me, you said. You'd never gotten over it, thefear, you said, that sooner or later they wouldfind you out for what you really were. The ash at the end of your cigarette kept getting longer,more trembly with each puff and then the coughthat followed, slouching your bony chest a little closer each time to the bar. You wanted to changethe subject, it seemed, so lit into a joke: Passer-bysees an old farmer standing under a tree … Words that plummeted your torso forward in a paroxysmof wheezing laughter … I leaned in and waiteduntil the fit subsided and you picked up once more … farmer's holding this pig in his armswhile the pig eats pecans from off the tree … thenthe laughter seized you again and another bout [End Page 117] of coughing as the avalanche of your ash collapsedinto your crumpled napkin. I did not know the skillof mouth-to-mouth, so began, instead, to pat you on the back, the only thing I could think to do thatmight keep you a little longer in this world. Andagain you were at it … Excuse me sir, says the passer by, but wouldn't it save time if you put the pig downand shook the pecans from the tree? Then you pummeledthe bar with a tobacco-stained fist and delivered the punch: Farmer says to the passer-by, What's time to a pig?When the laughter and wracking of your frail bodyhad finally passed, you said it again, as if to no one, What's time to a pig?
