They dropped late in the morning and then sat for an hour silently waiting for the kick in Billy’s boarding-house room, the grove of aspen trees on the edge of the field outside quivering in the summer breeze. The house was situated along the old road to the beach, not much more than ten miles from Lake Michigan. Inside, she sat looking at the poster Billy had tacked to the wall: a cartoon figure with a big leg extended, presenting an oversized shoe and, below the heel, the words “Keep On Truckin’.” She was waiting for it to move, which it did, eventually, dancing in a way that seemed remorseful, trying to lure her in, until it turned into an aberration that somehow mirrored Billy himself, thinning out into a slim boy, with a never-ending array of plans, brilliant with his own energies, performing a little gyrating dance—the heavy shoes falling away, becoming dainty little feet (because Billy did have small feet), the hand waving at her to come on in, to join the fun, the way you’d expect an older man to lure a girl in—and she was a kid that summer, just sixteen, and Billy was at least nineteen and, unbeknownst to either of them at the time, about to head off to war.
Billy held himself over her dramatically, tossing back his hair, gazing with his blue eyes, giving out a single hootlike laugh when he came. When he was in bed, and high, he was a gentle and beautiful boy, with a faraway look in his eyes, and irresistible sandy-blond hair, long and tangled. (Some said he looked a little bit like Jim Morrison, but, really, the resemblance lay in the way he moved, suddenly swaying his hips in his leather pants, radiating a charisma that seemed on the very edge of violence, launching into fits of jubilation.) Part of what held her in his thrall, she’d later think, was the way he seemed able to grapple time into submission by proposing schemes; he operated on constant speculation, always heading into the future, and that night after they made love, as they came down from their highs, he flipped onto his side and began talking about reality, about prospects for cash, about keeping their experiment—as he called it—in alternative consciousness up and running and financially viable.
She listened as plans emerged from Billy in soliloquies that sometimes lasted for hours: he rambled on about a sad gas station—the kind with old pumps and a grease pit—he might rob outside Alpena. A package store near Benton Harbor, set back among weeping willows, that was dying for a stickup. A blueberry farm near the Indiana border that would offer easy pickings if they were ever blighted with hunger. He spoke of these plans using the words he had acquired during his year at a prep school out East before he’d returned home to work for a year at Checker Cab. As he liked to explain it, he had come home and begged his parents to disown him, saying, Please, please, let me go, cast me out, I beg of you, go down to the police station and list me as incorrigible, if you do anything. I’ve always wanted to be incorrigible. Do it for the sake of our lineage, for the entire family right down the line. Cast me out in honor of the toil and tribulation of our forefathers. In honor of the original Miles Thomas, who never foresaw a guy like me, a long-haired hippie. Not in his wildest fantasies.
Beside her that night, in bed, he began to talk out his latest scheme: My Uncle Rex and Aunt Minerva were farmers, he said. But now they live in the city of Lansing. We’ll distract my uncle, get him talking, and I’ll go up and get the box of cash he has up there under the floorboards, the old farm money he just doesn’t have the heart to spend. Money that came from the soil, and all that, because he lost his farm a few years back and he’s still not over it, so it’s just sitting there, with no real use.
She listened and sank deeper into the bed, wondering how they’d pull up and away from the coziness of the room, with the darkness outside and dawn scratching at the horizon. Eventually, they found the energy, got up and pulled on their jeans, got dressed, and scrawled a note for the landlord: Dear Dan: Went on an adventure to re-establish our funds. We will be returning by evening, and upon our return we will be fully equipped to reimburse you for the back rent. Faithfully yours, Meg and Billy.
When they got to Lansing the sun still wasn’t up, and the heavy government buildings were straining to materialize out of the dark, their white limestone walls emitting an eerie iridescence while a few sad orphaned houses stood nearby, shabby and out of place, shedding shingles and curlicues of lead paint. Billy’s uncle lived in one of these, just down from the Board of Water & Light building, on a plot of land held above the sidewalk by a crumbling retaining wall.
I’m really not sure about this, she told Billy as they swung up the driveway and spotted a brutal-looking farm implement, hook-shaped blades attached to a long wooden handle, leaning against the side of the house. She stared at it and glanced around for signs of movement. Billy looked the house over, took a drag on his cigarette, and began to explain: We’re not going to steal, if that’s what you’re thinking. You’ve got to understand that. We’re not the types to go in and take something from old folks, not at all. We’re upstanding end-of-the-era hippies who just need some help, that’s all, so look at it like that, Meg, look at it like a simple thing, like seesawing, or jumping jacks, or doing cartwheels. We’re not going to upset the status quo, because money passed between family members sustains stability.
Billy would’ve gone on that way if she’d let him, waxing philosophical, bending the truth, trying to fit the round peg of their need into the square hole of his uncle’s life, so finally she said, Let’s go on in and say hello, and she got out of the car, closed the door softly, and went up to the front porch.
At the front door, he had his knife out and was sliding it around the latch, flicking it urgently, until there was a click and the latch gave, opening into a stale darkness, a vestibule filled with the smell of wet wool, rubbing ointments, dust, moth flakes, and furnace oil. A door led to a large hall with a stairway that went up past a stained-glass window. They stood for a moment at the foot of the stairs, listening to the silence of sleeping inhabitants, until Billy called up, saying, Uncle Rex? Aunt Minerva, Uncle Rex, Aunt Minerva? From upstairs there came a grunt, the clearing of phlegm, a cough or two, more grunting, and then a voice that said, Who’s that? Who’s there? It was a tart, central-Michigan, farmhand voice, confined within the nose. (Meg didn’t know it at the time, but she was hearing the intonations of a widower, the voice you’d hear from someone interrogating himself in the mirror with total contempt: a voice that made complete sense when the old man finally came down the stairs, dressed in a tattered old maroon robe, and presented a toothless mouth set in a gaunt face. Staying on the bottom step, he looked at Billy, coughed twice, and said, What the hell do you want from me?)
Billy tossed the hair out of his eyes and said, We were just in the neighborhood and thought we’d pay a friendly visit to say hello and see how you were and how the crops are this year.
A look of thoughtfulness entered the old man’s face, and while his lips mulled his answer he went to the window, parted the curtains, and gazed up at the sky visible between the buildings.
Since when did you ever give a damn about farming?
I’ve got farm blood and a farming soul, Uncle Rex, Billy said. So get the coffee going and then come back to the parlor and fill me in on the details, give me a complete crop report, the whole thing, right down to the latest commodity update, or whatever. I’m eager to hear. Meg wants to hear, too. There’s nothing like farming. It’s the only respectable profession left, that’s for sure, and there are plenty who are returning to the soil, Uncle Rex. You know me well enough to know I’ve got farm blood. I’ll buy that farm back, rebuild it, and get it up and running again. You won’t have to do a thing but sit in your chair on the front porch and give me occasional advice.
Uncle Rex went down the hall to the kitchen and began banging around making coffee while they stood in the parlor amid the clutter of knickknacks and tchotchkes, old souvenirs from across the country, spoons and miniature statues, a plate that said “Kentucky, Abraham Lincoln Birthplace” above an etching of a log cabin; another plate that said “Virginia” below a gold-leaf miniature of Monticello; a horseshoe from Wisconsin with the words “Good Luck.” At the windows, heavy drapes held back the dawn light. A velour love seat, two small straight-backed chairs, and, in the corner, against the wall, a pump organ.
