COINCIDANCE 217<br />

Dirty, sneaking cowards, Seamus thought. I wonder when I'll have the sense to make a<br />

run for it and join them.<br />

He had had a bad eye going into this—from an altercation with the British<br />

Army in Dun Laoghaire—and now he had a bad leg from the wound at<br />

Brandywine. He woke up cold every morning and went to sleep chilled<br />

every night. Washington was more foul-mouthed and Draconic than ever.<br />

If they were survived this winter, Seamus thought wearily, they would just<br />

meet the Brits again and get beaten again.<br />

Mr. Jefferson claimed, in his Declaration, that Nature and Nature's God<br />

were on the side of the rebellion. In Valley Forge, Seamus Muadhen, who<br />

had always wanted to avoid politics and had been warned by a Sinister<br />

Italian that History was even worse than ordinary politics, decided that<br />

Nature and Nature's God simply did not give a fart in their knickers about<br />

the rebellion.<br />

When General von Steuben was through drilling the troops that day,<br />

Seamus called his Fighting Irish together and gave them another inspirational<br />

Gaelic sermon on liberty and sacrifice and heroism.<br />

He almost believed it himself, when he was finished.<br />

We leap from human bodies. I note that the evolution of specifications in a<br />

Northern Ireland Assembly debate was created by a chicken. Syphilitics<br />

with advanced brain damage entered Cherry Valley in 1778. Any associated<br />

dog chow adds tomato ketchup poured down the front of my dress by Willis<br />

O'Brien except when the man doesn't have Marilyn Chambers through the<br />

plumbing. The Sinister Italian was meditating in Ohio and once shot Maria<br />

Maldonado's brother in Napoli.<br />

It was Kenneth Bernard in his memorable and incisive "King Kong: A<br />

Meditation" who first asked the crucial question: how big was King Kong's<br />

Dong? Examining comparative anatomy, Bernard noted that a six-foot man<br />

usually has a six-inch penis in erection, so a 24-foot gorilla should rejoice in<br />

24 inches or 2 feet. The roaring foul-mouthed disciplinarian hallucinating all the time is<br />

the path of philosophy, is it not? Bernard rejects this, on the cogent grounds that<br />

Kong is not a creature in science but in dream and myth—an ithyphallic<br />

divinity of the family of Dionysus and Osiris. Since these deities are depicted<br />

in surviving art as endowed with three times the human norm, Kong<br />

should, in mythologic, have three times the "norm" for a 24-foot gorilla, or<br />

3 x 2 feet = 6 feet.<br />

This accounts for the terror in New York when Kong is on the loose<br />

seeking his bride (she who was given to him by his worshippers but taken<br />

away by treacherous white imperialists). A 24-foot gorilla in heat is<br />

frightening, admittedly, but Kong arouses more than fear: he inspires<br />

metaphysical Panic, in the etymological sense. He is Pan Ithyphalios, right<br />

out of the collective unconscious. He must be, not just a 24-foot gorilla, but a
