Me’n
Sliv stand bouncing to the beat and finally the girl in the skirt comes talk to
us, it’s Gia Valencia, the daughter of the mad Spanish anthropologist sage
who’d lived with the Pomo and Pit River Indians of California, famous old man,
whom I’d read and revered only three years ago while working the railroad outa
San Luis Obispo—“Bug, give me back my shadow!” he yelled on a recorded tape
before he died, showing how the Indians made it at brooks in old California
pre-history before San Fran and Clark Gable and Al Jolson and Rose Wise Lazuli
and the jazz of the mixed generations—Out there’s all that sun and shade as
same as old doodlebug time, but the Indians are gone, and old Valencia is gone,
and all’s left is his charming erudite daughter with her hands in her pockets
digging the jazz—She’s also talking to all the goodlooking men, black and
white, she likes em all—They like her—To me she suddenly says “Arent you going
to call Irwin Garden?”
"Sure I just got into town!"
"You're Jack Duluoz aren't you!"
"And yeah, you're—"
"Sure I just got into town!"
"You're Jack Duluoz aren't you!"
"And yeah, you're—"
