weary feeling first came. There was a time
long ago. back in Sicily. when he used to
laugh lot. He'd be stripping down his
machine gun. and Ray Garcia would sit there
on an empty ammo case. Johnny and Garcia
came from the same town.
I'm getting bored with this war" Garcia
would say solemly Il think III resign from
this war and take the streetcar back to San
Francisco"
Johnny said, My wife's never been to San
Francisco. met her while was in training.
in Maryland. When get home I'm going to
walk with her up Russian Hill along about
noon, when the fog's beginning to lift and
you can see all the way out there to Alca-
traz"
Garcia closed his eyes The most beautiful
clmk in the world he said. Both laughed.
Evening star., 1945-05-20

They talked about the States;
They said the land was new Land,
You could raise n son and raise him we'll,
Raise him strong a brass-jacket shell,
Give him tomorrow in the palm of his hand;
They talked about the States
1T WAS some time after midnight when
i Johnny Benton stopped trying to sleep
and put on his field jacket and went up on
deck He stood there at the rail, looking out
into the darkness Twenty-fom hours out of
New York. Coming home from the war
man ought to be excited, man ought to be
oockeyed drunk with happiness. Johnny
turned away from the sea. The WEAKNESS was
in his back, along his arms. He felt tired and
hollow and scared.
He couldn't exactly remember when the

That will cost lot OF money, Johnny"
so what?"
Maybe we ought to try and save some
money"
"Why?"
Its a good thing to have some money.
Just in case of an emergency. Anything's
liable to happen"
Look. you don't have to make speeches
to mer'
Liz said softly. Il wasn't making speeches.
You never worried about money before
You sure have changed"
you've changed too
yeah, sure, it s my fault Blame it on met
LIZ took deep breath. I'VE don't seem
to be running 50 smooth, do we? | mean. |
feel like we're million miles apart"
''All the time I was over there thought
about YOU" Johnny said fatty. I'D see
flowers and think how they'd look on that
yellow dress. I'd bum cigarette and think
- that's her brand"
Liz said, Johnny, about the money; Just
thought, in case we decide to have family
We could use the money"
oh"
Il know you're only home on rotation.
l know you've only got thirty days. But some
day you're going to be home for good Wen
want to have family. ELL need the money"
did ever say that? Did ever say
wanted famy?"
No" There was kind of scared look in
Laxa Irjt b.I - -
Johnny said, Il didn't learn much in the
war - but learned one thing. | don't ever
want to have any kids. never want to bring
anybody into this world to go through what
l went through"
Alter that they both sat there Finally
Johnny said, LIZ, you understand, don't
you?" She just sat there. looking at him.
He SAID, "When's the next train west?"
There's one at eleven tonight"
''Okay"
Johnny, you want me to rub your back"
He said. Yeah. Yeah, rub my back
They started out i'm the States;
The hunters came to build u life,
On New Hampshire rock and Georgia sand;
They staked u claim across the land,
Their decd was . gun and hunting knife;
They started out in the States.
JOHNNY laid back his head and listened to
the click OF the train wheels like a dancer,
like soft shoe tap. They were just out of New
York, travelling up along the Hudson in the
night
few seats ahead somebody was running
up and down the scales on harmonica.
Johnny leaned out into the aisle and saw
tall, thin sailor rapping a small harmonica
against his knee and blowing through it hard
to clear it. The sailor had a young face. and
his long legs were sprawled out in the aisle.
Evening star., 1945-05-20

After SlClly 1t was SdleInO, and then AnZio,
San Petro, dozen rivers, a hundred name
less hills On one of the hills there was some
mortar fire, and Garcia dawled over and sat
down next to Johnny with kind of surprised
look on his face. He said, Cigarette me-"
There was blood on his neck and on the collar
of his jacket. He said. Light it for me. will
you. Johnny" Then he died.
1t was after that that Johnny Benton got
wounded 1t wasn't a German machine gun
or booby-trap No bombs hit close 1t
wasn't mortar shell. But somewhere in
there, slowly, day by day. Johnny got wound
ed. No broken bones, no bleeding. Just slow
bitterness and an absence of laughter.
No guy in the war can tell you when the
bitterness comes, but somehow it comes.
Part of it is watching the days go by, the
months of your youth, the good years. And
part of it the Garcias - a thousand GaIcias,
a crazy Irishman. or quiet kid from Bell
County, Kentucky, or Polish boy from
Scranton, Pennsylvania A German 80 blows
open the foxhole, a German land mine ex-
plodes under the jeep, German mortar shell
makes its connection - and a good Joe from
Jersey City or Minnesota dies And 50 the
bitterness comes
Now Johnny Benton stood there in the
darkness on the deck on transport and tried
to think of home Elizabeth was coming up
to New York; she'd be there to meet him at
the train station. He tried to remember what
she looked like. But her face now was fiat,
lifeless image, like the picture IN his wallet
The WEAKNESS was still there the sick feel
ing in the pit of his stomach Johnny thought,
What am scared of? got nothing to be
scared of.
After awhile he went back down below and
tried to sleep.
They came to live in the States;
In merchant ships and galleons,
Out of the ports of France and Spain,
They came to the harbors of Jersey and
Maine,
And the future blaxed i'm their ey es like suns,
They came to live in the States.
JOHNNY came up the steps In Penn Station,
through the crowds. the confusion. the lines
of people and somebody with LIS walk,
somebody with LIS face. He'd waited so
long to put his arms around her, and then the
time came and he didn't He just stood there,
very quiet.
Liz said, Hello, Johnny"
Hello"
Well, you're home home" Then, very
quickly to keep from crying, Don't let me
stand here like a dope, Johnny. Kiss me-"
They went and had breakfast They just
sat there and looked at each other and talked
kind of awkwardly.
What are you talking about? I've been
touring the continent. I'm just back from
vacation In SUNNY Italy the healthiest climate

up and down the scales on a harmonica.
Johnny leaned out into the aisle and saw a
tall, thin sailor rapping small harmonica
against his knee and blowing through it hard
to clear it. The sailor had young face. and
his long legs were sprawled out in the aisle
He leaned back closed his eyes and lifted
the harrnonica to his lips. He played few
bars and then eased the harmonica away
from his mouth and sang without opening
his eyes:
Take me back 10 Tulsa, I'm too young to marry;
Going back TO Tulsa; I'm too young 10 mary
Johnny turned to Liz. That's something
