When I feel a bit down, Radiohead's always a pretty good pill to take. I've always wanted to record "Exit Music" where the sax fills in for Thom's vocals. In doing so, I have a new admiration for Thom's vocal range (it pushes the boundaries of my tenor). Keeping those low notes smooth(ish) is a challenge. Full version link in my bio just in case you want to hear the rest of this chaos.

"you have Ms. Krause for English?" asks Nolly, "I hear she's a dragonlady." that got Jerak's mind running. they all did, there was no escape. but at least there was the jogathon to usher in summer before 6th grade. Pook won his age every year, so confident this year he didn't stretch as usual relying on his mcmahon headband and inconsistent beard. the first couple of laps were a breeze...for Jerak. imagine if he wasn't wearing jeans today. wrong casual friday. the school cheered on the sidelines in horror. how was this possible? as Jerak raced, not jogging at all, he would turn and see behind him Pook's angry face in a displeased scowl. Pook was pointing a gun at Jerak, chasing him all over the course trying to catch up. on and on they went winding around the grounds under the canyons sliding past the ditches through the trees. Jerak never had to run this fast before. fear is a greater motivator than energy bars. the bandwagoners crowded the path for a glimpse at their new school hero, the lovable weirdo, not the athlete. Jerak felt like a mascot. Nolly would be there by the dead branches every lap to offer Jerak gatorade in cups he'd drop and leche flan and pumpkin-pie wedges with a female gaze of disbelieving admiration. she gives Pook back the black NES slipcase with red stripe he lent her she borrowed. as the red morning sky turned to lunch, the final punchcard tally was Jerak 100 Pook 99. Pook was still a tough mudder. at the ceremony the entire student body encircled a nervousing Jerak not used to the bare stage. his legs were shaking after all that, naturally. "Pezzonovante!" Pook shouts in front of everyone with a sarcastic clap and slams his mom's entire victory pumpkin pie hard into Jerak's face. "thank you for the distraction, I hate speeches," Jerak thinks. later at the home shower, Jerak loses himself in the foamy necklace of his favorite lice shampoo, Enlive, in that beautiful pump bottle as tall as him. Jerak wraps himself in a blanket of effervescent suds and tastes the scent of olive nature. he closes his eyes to the rhythm of the running faucet not noticing the non-red night sky through the french doors.
"orange-flavored coffee?" I ask as Skie pours the orange juice into the coffee. "relax," she assures, "it's a Saturday." I take this as a sign. I'm at the penthouse suite in my tin suit, above the Zegar, with faint sirens and leaf blowers outside. Skie is different, less princessy, more polished. not spoiled but spoilt by life. her last day was more-lived. serene substantive sky. she wears a green princess dress betraying her roots that I don't notice. one year later fast, Valentine's Day, I'm early. what time is it? I check my wrist: two hairs past a freckle. I add to her table of platanos in sour cream with my plant and red. all planned out, her sport. "I was thinking boliche and bowling," I blurt. "let's stay in this year," she rubs my cheek, "I've been replaying the VHSs you gave me. baseball is boring, college basketball needs a better shotclock, but I'm into this ancient football. Cam, what a babe!" Skie dabs in the living room. "let's talk while it cooks," she shows me outside to the couch on the balcony. Captain Benjamin Sisko from across the balcony on our tower's twin smiles gamely at me as he sips his roast and points up. Skie sits on the other end of the couch, melting into it. the couch swallows me on my end, I try like my life depended on it to extend my arm to hug her neck but I can't reach her. "how'd you know my food?" I ask. a tiny thin candle pierces the mound of yellow rice. "we're family," Skie blushes resoundedly, "the old man told me." "our fathers," I toll reciting the pledge we all learn in school, "have been through so much we'll never know, laying our foundation, accepting devastation, avoiding condemnation, embracing consternation." "not true," she smiling says, "my dad curses like a vehement, underwater at home. I'm trying to be better" and she takes a bite. I'm not hungry. "I," I say sinking into Qark's words and hers, "I can't show it, but...I love you always...and...and...love will conquer time." I look up into the foggy skyline. it's mid-morning but New York City is as ever congested with flying cars. I glance back at the screen to see how much time is left in the game: there's that number again: 9:12
