Around that time Jack began to appear in his dreams； Jack as he had first seen him； curly…headed and smiling and bucktoothed； talking about getting up off his pockets and into the control zone； but the can of beans with the spoon handle jutting out and balanced on the log was there as well； in a cartoon shape and lurid colors that gave the dreams a flavor of ic obscenity。 The spoon handle was the kind that could be used as a tire iron。 And he would wake sometimes in grief； sometimes with the old sense of joy and release； the pillow sometimes wet； sometimes the sheets。
There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to believe； but nothing could be done about it； and if you can't fix it you've got to stand it。
