Those Wonderful Years

BARRY N. MALZBERG

LISTENING TO THE great sounds of '63, pouring like fruit from the

transistors, the engine on high, pulling me irresistibly toward that simpler

and more reasonable time of my life. All is love/stars above/know the

tune/I lost so soon, Cosmo and the Pearls, got it together in '61, got the

sounds right the following year, hit it to the top with MOONSONG in that

golden year of the assassination and then it all fell apart as so many lives

have fallen apart during the 60's: drugs, divorce, abandonment, flight,

hatred and Cosmo himself died in a fountain in Las Vegas or was it a pool

in '69, must have been around that time, maybe a year later. Does not

matter. Old Cosmo was finished by the mid-sixties, the whole sound that

he exemplified, the tender lyric which he probed overtaken by harsher

jolts but ramming the Buick at high speed down the expressway it is '63

oranges of that music bounce over me, humming only a little at the

rhythm parts. On the expressway I whir past other aspects of the past:

cars from the early sixties assault me from oncoming lanes, yield to me on

radio is still, then there is a commercial for the Wonder Wheel chain of

superior foodstuffs in the metropolitan area and without transition from

'66 comes the sound of the TROOPERS singing Darkness of Love. '66 was

a good year too although not as critical in many aspects as '63, still it is a

period worth remembering. The TROOPERS help me remember. Locked

to the sound, a little pivot wheel of memory I soar through all the spaces of

the Expressway and into the impenetrable but to-be-known future. The

vaginal canal of the future, parting its thick lips for me gently as I snaffle

along in pursuit of my destiny.

Outside the building containing Elvira's single-girl's apartment I wedge

the car into a space, remove the key (cutting off Tom and the Four Gees in

SWEET DELIGHT, a pure pear plucked from the tree of '54, a little before

my time but no matter) and sit behind the wheel for a moment,
