摘要

JONANCY, KENTUCKY: Friday morning, 20 miles west of Pikeville, coal town on the Big Sandy. My alarm clock is set for 6:00 a.m., but I am awake at 5:30. Catbirds scold in the maples outside my window. A dog has barked all night at a wooly worm. I am drifting back into that euphoric dream state when I am jarred awake by the familiar sound of Dry John Elliot's pickup coming up the road a quarter of a mile away. I hear Old Betsy leave something on the Elwood crossing and keep on coming, missing and backfiring like a flatulent beast of the Apocalypse hell-bent for leather. There is an interlude of silence followed by the sound of an F-150 in the death throes outside my gate. I hear a final gasp for octane, a door slamming and an emphatically uttered oath followed by a meek. "Forgive me, Lord."
