The men had moustaches, and rings in their ears, big, round gold ones you could put your thumb through, without touchin'. And they had that squinty look, like they was always laughin' a little. They all wore old clothes, patches and funny colors. The old men used t' sit by a p'ticular wagon that was set-up where the farm road cut in t' the old Harvey Street down at the gully of the celery flats.

They had wagons and tents to live in. One of them had a Ford truck. Crank start only." The old man was slouched gently up against the white, concrete- block wall of the warehouse. He spoke slowly and easily, while sometimes rocking the orange crate under him with approval. His eyes looked toward me, but forward and down, familiarly aware of what was around him, He didn't quite raise his eyes to mine. "They never tried to cheat you, did they?" I asked after a pause. "No, not really. You know what goes on though. I remember this one story my dad tol' me. I was too young at the time t' know 'xactly what happened. Anyhow, this one feller sold my dad a horse that looked good enough, but balked, wouldn't pull the hair off yer chest. Not worth a nickel. Well my dad didn't run into him for the rest of the summer, but the following summer he heard that the same gypsy was haulin' produce each Thursday to market for a farmer. My dad started spendin' market mornings at the corner feed and hardware over t' south Getty and Marlen Street way. He'd check out jus' when that feller'd come along haulin' produce. Ya' see, my dad was a smart one, he picked up a real fine grey what had the heaves and all, fer prac'ly nothin'. She was nearly the twin of one of that gypsy feller's horses. An' so he took a good team of horses, hitched the mare to the back of his wagon, and on market day pulled a heap a' logs for the mill, over t' the front of the feed store. He unhitched one of the good horses, put the filly in t' other one's traces, doctored her up with some medicine from the vet's, and made like he was restin' his team. When along comes this gypsy feller. He kind of notices my dad, and the mare, and the stack a' logs at the same time and pulls up alongside of our wagon and stops. He knows that he hasn't seen my pa since that last horse trade, but he says 'Hi.' anyhow, and 'How'rc ya' doin', Mr. Peters?' My pa says fine and that I he's jus' restin' the team before they make on down t' the mill. That feller kinda' eyes the mare from the side and says 'Pretty clean horse ya'got there. Pretty good lookin'She's agein'some, though.' 'Yeah, she still pulls fine,' my dad says. My dad doesn't mention the other horse trade though, and pretty soon they start talkin' a deal, and that feller says he ain't seen that mare before, but he gets down and looks her over. Listens to her breathe and everything. Then he says, 'This here sure is a big load fer jus' these two animals.' 'Yup, but they kin handle it,' says my pa. 'She sure would look nice braced up with t' other one,' says the feller. Well, they talk an even up trade

That lady who was nice had a tan Shetland with a golden brown mane. The pony took a liking to me. I always hoped that dad would trade for her. I rode her bareback even. Whenever I went over there with my pa I got to ride her. I always took her some sugar that I snuck. Just crazy fer sugar. She remembered me from summer to summer. After a couple a' summers I was still small enough to ride her, and big enough to go over there on Sundays. That was after mom died. The gypsy lady was always smiling. She promised she'd never tell on me, and I could ride her pony. Sheila, whenever I pleased. She was the only lady there with blond hair. I noticed that right off. Pa liked her too. He showed up there one Sunday jus' as I was comin' back with the pony. I never saw him so mad at me before. He said I could never go back there again. Some of the men said I'd never been any trouble to them. But I remember how he looked around, red in the face, yanked me off Sheila, and smacked my backside. It was worse when I got home. I cried too." "How old were you, as old as me?" I asked. "Younger, twelve I'd say." He shifted on the crate, scraping a corner when he crossed his ankles. He looked to the side of me. The cloth worn white at the knees of his overalls framed several patches. "After a month or so, I couldn't stand it no more," he said, still looking at my right side. "Pa wouldn't let me ride any of his horses alone. Said they was too rough. So one evenin' at dusk I went to see the pony again. Dad was gone to do some visitin'in town. Iwasfeedin' her some sugar when I heard the lady's voice behind me. She said she knew that I didn't belong here but she was happy to see me jus' the same. She spoke more quiet than usual. She said that she and her friends were goin' to leave any day now. She had had to sell the pony, and that they prob'ly wouldn't be back. I said that I wanted to go with them. 'It's wrong to say that,'she said. 'You've got to help your pa.' And I started to cry and told her I didn't like livin' here and wanted to go and travel and see the things she had tol' me and pa about. Then she gave me this here little gold ring. 'A wedding band,' she said and then tol' me I had best leave soon or my dad might find out I was gone. It was dark when I left and the old gypsies were sittin' and smokin'. I remember the wind in the oak tree overhead, and how it kept their cigarettes bright." He looked at me and took the ring off and circled it with his five fingers. I watched them move, slowly, re-feeling it. "Did you ever see 'em again, Mr. Peters?" "No," he said. • by William Schutter There's a pond that surrounds a fountain in Centennial Park, where the Park Department people put goldfish. If you know anything about small town parks, you know that the fountain I'm about to describe is a rounded conical pile of concrete chips from sidewalks, held together by mounds of cement, covered with green moss, with copper pipes sticking out in no particular pattern, and that when the fountain is working at its best, trickles of oily water dribble down its sides into a shallow, white-washed reflecting pool, made of cement. The goldfish wallow around in this residue, dully flapping Goldfish, their gill covers or hanging on the stringy stems of some water lilies dredged out of Lake Macatawa, or occasionally slogging along the bottom, looking for something edible. I suppose they're kept alive by the Park Department, although I never saw anyone assigned to feed them. Usually the goldfish were Old Men fed by old men. Not many of them came too often with their too long and Clay Ashtrays

overcoats and buttons the size of silver dollars, with patched mothholes, and crumbs in their pockets, to feed the goldfish.

So I stopped by the fountain and looked at the goldfish, to try and decide whether to go on tempting fate or to have done by Steve Farrar with it. There sat a man on a park bench. That he was sitting on the bench was unusual in itself. Holland park benches look and feel like they're made for old men and old women to sit next to each other or if they don't like each other very much, they can sit apart even though old women never come to the park and old men only sit on the benches with looks of resignation on their faces. He had no umbrella, only a very seedy looking navy blue overcoat that must have been soaked through, and a felt hat with the brim pulled down all around. I saw that he was looking at my shoelace that was untied, so I turned to him and asked him to hold the bag of groceries a minute. You know what's wrong with your shoelace, he asked, you tied it wrong. He was a long-distance walker who almost lost a race because he tied his shoelace wrong once, he said, as he bent over and picked up the strings. Like this, he said, you put one through this loop and one through this one and pull them tight before you tie them the normal way, did I see and then you tie them and they won't come loose on their own.

So 1 thanked him and Au pays des yeux obliques. he thanked me, and tossed a handful of breadcrumbs and pocket fuzz into the pool as 1 walked away. by juneArdee Armstrong There were lots of rainy days that summer when 1 d walk through the park. Very often there would be a girl there, a particular girl, either up by the railing around the pool or sitting on one of the'benches staring at the fountain. She never had an umbrella either, but she always wore a blue trench coat with the collar up and Foe Scene by David Dustin no hat and although she was almost always in the park when it rained, she only came once in a while when it didn't, and sat there staring into the pool. I've often wondered if she ever fed the goldfish, or actually even saw them, or whether all she ever did was to sit there on the bench with her legs stretched out, giving the old men memories of other girls and other times in the park. But I never asked her. 1 only looked at her, and smiled, though she never returned it. Now that I think of it, it strikes me as odd that I never saw any old women in the park. It's not that there's any shortage of them around Anytime you want you can go downtown and watch them hobble down Eighth Street, balding heads covered with depressing hats and hunch backs bringing up the rear. They have a uniform: it's a raincoat that looks like a parachute died black that's worn over dark printed dresses that almost cover their thick putty-colored nylons and diabetic ankles. If I were an old woman, I wouldn't go to the park either, I guess. I'd hobble wherever 1 had to go and hide all the rest of the time so that no one would see me. I'm sure 1 would hate the young girls that sit on park benches with their legs stretched out, looking pretty. Still it's odd that the old women never seemed to care about the goldtish. All in all, the pond fares pretty well, during the summer. The goldfish there aren't very big, and probably they can live quite well on the bread that the old men toss out. They're all right during the summer, it's only in the fall when the wind comes off the lake cold and bleak with its first statement of winter that they look as though they were shivering, there in the pool. The wind that comes from the north carries with it a wetness that cuts through to your stomach that bites your lungs when you breathe it in like a whiff of ammonia, that )
