WHITIS CULTURE, Etc. \(The writer, Donald Barthelme, is editor of FORUM, the quarterly published by the University of Houston, and a former Houston HOUSTON It is frequently painful for a Texan to decide that he is not, after all, a cowboy. The role is glamorous, sanctioned by the community, and not difficult to play. Adults can manage it far more easily than they could, say, Spaceman. But there are some serious disadvantages. The trouble with being a cowboy, even a counterfeit cowboy, is that although exquisitely sage in matters of horses and cattle, the cowboy tends to be somewhat limited outside these areas. This has more to do with the ritual demands of the role than with his innate gifts. Certain important areas of thought and feeling are closed to him; like a cloche hat or an interest in the United Nations, they are simply not becoming. A number of talented improvisers have attempted to enlarge the role, giving us, for instance, the scholar-cowboy: “All I eat is beans cooked over a mesquite fire but I also speak Chaucer.” The role is legitimized by the cachet of scholarship, and we are made more comfortable in it. It is not necessary that we too speak Chaucer; it is enough that we are told that Chaucer and mesquite fires may safely co-exist. A community of largely bogus cowboys, or cowboys who are uneasy in their roles, provides interesting examples of amateur or doit-yourself schizophrenia. Thus we have the moneyed cowboy whose money proceeds not from cattle but from a nice little plastics plant. To complicate the picture insanely, let us say that he is also, in his rough-hewn way, a patron of But we would, and so he said, “Well, I think, since Jesus was on the cross ‘three days, well, we don’t know he was, but probably he was, and then he went to heaven, I think we all ought to be on the cross three days.” “And then be alive again?” “That’s right.” The spring has come, and in the late warm sun he climbed over the railing by the sidewalk and cut through the cafe’s patch of garden. He took my hand crossing the street but would not go in the door of the car, and climbed up on its back shoulder, walked along the roof, wanted to swing inside, and seeing no way to, laughed and jumped to me, who threw him in the front seat. He got on the hospital bed beside Jean, and I cranked them up and down with the handle at the foot. I told her of his thoughts on death; she seemed to think his plan was a pretty good one, which pleased him. He, who is seven, asked her, “Momma, would you like to be alive always? And always be young? Say, about ten.” “Who’d be mommas and daddies then?” Jean asked. “We wouldn’t need any, we’d just play, and ride horses, and hunt and eat deer,” he said. R.D. THE TEXAS OBSERVER Page 7 March 25, 1960 the arts. Note that the drama here is generated by the delicious incongruity he presents-and savors -in his role of the cultured cowboy: “I died with my boots on of boredom in the Art Museum.” When we remember that he is in fact not a cowboy at all but a plastics engineer, the multiple level of the charade is revealed, the lostness of the leading actor established. These charades are sometimes played on a grand scale, with the entire community taking part. This can be seen in the recently advanced proposal, apparently seriously intended, that Houston’s new Museum of Natural History be built in the shape of the state of Texas. When we begin building things in the shape of other things \(hot dog stands in the image of giant wieners, tourist courts diately betray a desperate Madequacy of the imagination. Not content to let the thing be what it is, we insist that it pretend to be something else-usually something we can despise. Luckily, the Houston museum will escape this fate. But the appropriateness of this maneuver in regard to a museum, which usually despises
