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
