Morning calls. The stretch of the rubber band strains a bit tighter from where it’s anchored by a nail in the board way back at the dawn of man. It comes my way across all that has occurred before now, only to end up wrapped, tight as a fiddle string, around this cup of coffee I’m pouring myself here in the early kitchen. In my own way, I try to makes sense of another day, another one of these impossible sets of hours and rules and payments.

“Every town has an Elm Street.”— Freddie KruegerThere are these things called night terrors. They mostly happen in little kids under the age of 12 and that doesn’t seem fair to me. Little kids don’t deserve anything like that. What happens (on the surface of things) is that the kid is asleep but then suddenly they are also talking excitedly or screaming or calling for help. They might be understandable or they might be incomprehensible.

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever. -Napoleon Bonapartejawn one. On the deck of a hotel we are set out in the Texas sun listening to Steve Earle moving through his own voice like a fire in the house of mirrors. Hundreds of versions of him emerge at once, each of them burning larger than life… as it ought to be when you meet your heroes, I guess.

Not long ago, I posted something on my Facebook page saying that I was planning to write some more stuff about Marah, my old band, in the near future. I mentioned that my format would be my ‘Jawn’ method’, a method — if you’re not familiar — which allows me a sort of liberated chance to write shorter, often unrelated, vignettes that ostensibly add up to a single threaded comprehensive ‘episode’ of Jawns. Confused yet? Haha/ hope not.
