You mean how it turns up kinda shrill at the end?"<BR/><BR/>"Good listenin son. An hear that pinched sound? That there feller's tryin to beller from his throat 'stead of his gut. That's what <I>fear</I> does."<BR/><BR/>"<I>Sweet dreams."</I><BR/><BR/>"Yeah Pappy. It sounds so..<I>hollow</I>."<BR/><BR/>Now you got it, son. It sounds hollow because he <I>is</I> hollow. He's propped up by his own words, kinda like a perpetual energy machine. God for him an his like is himownself, an that's where the fear part comes in. He's gotta keep makin everyone else wrong so he can be right. When he sees something come along <I>diff'rent</I>, well, it's gotta be <I>wrong</I>, or else <I>this</I> fella'd be wrong. An himownself can't allow that, see? In Him Own Cosmos there's only one way for all the different people in the world. Remember what we know about learnin? How learnin something you believe in is wrong jest gets you closer to right? This poor feller's pinned against the riverbank by his own thoughts an he don't know it cause the current of himown crowd keeps him glued there. He thinks he's arrived someplace. He don't know nothin about the rest of the trip yet."<BR/><BR/>"McCain't he climb out, or kick his way free?" <BR/><BR/>"Sure he can son, soon as he <I>wants</I> to. But look along thisyear bank. See all them bumps? Those are all people! Just like him! See how they've kinda collected in that little undercut? They're after safety, an they found their little spot. Everyone else still on the river is "wrong", an if someone goes by lookin like they might be enjoyin themselves, these folk set up to brayin'."<BR/><BR/>"Are they good for anything?"<BR/><BR/>"Course they are, son. They're God's own kinfolk, same as you an me. First all, they're like channel markers. Anytime you hear em you can be pretty sure the water's changin. They don't like change, cause they're comfortable under there. Second of all, they're always good for a meal er two when your tired. You just gotta go over an look interested, an you generally get a "free" meal. That make's em feel like theyre doing God's work there to help a feller along the way, give em a meal an the Word."<BR/><BR/>"Ain't that dangerous? Can you jest leave when you want?"<BR/><BR/>"Fer some, it's the end of the road. They git there, they take a meal an like it, they listen to all the carpin and namecallin, an it jest feels like home to them. They mix up feelin smug with feelin good. An in there ain't no one to tell em they're wrong, or they git shoved out. It's what they've been lookin for, so they start figurin a way to settle in, git some roots into the bank, an start brayin along with the rest of the folk. An they do that till they die. Then they float off an do it all again." <BR/><BR/>"How come you'd come to take a meal in there like you said? How come you ain't stuck in the bank?"<BR/><BR/>"All's you gotta do son is leave. But you cain't never leave nowhere till you <I>want</I> to first. Them folks there don't <I>want</I> to leave. They're afraid first, and brave second. Most of em generally fergit what brave is after they git settled in. Remember that son, an this world stays a place fer learnin. Fergit that an you end up protectin what never was yours in the first place, an' was always yours without askin."<BR/><BR/>"What does that mean?"<BR/><BR/>"Keep yer eyes an ears open son, an remember that the best students outgrow the teacher. Good teachers know that. Bad students jest bray at you when you start to grow. Now let's ease on up to the cut. We'll duck back in fer a meal, then climb on out fer the show."<BR/><BR/>"What show?"<BR/><BR/>"The changin'. The river's fixin to rise a good bit. All kinds of stuff is fixin to break loose, all kinds of new water is gonna fill up the banks. They's water comin into the river that ain't been seen round here in a long time. It will taste fresh an sweet, like rain, an the river will begin to roar like a bull."<BR/><BR/>"What will happen to them under the cut there?"<BR/><BR/>"Oh they'll lend a hand. If we git up where we can listen to the whole thing an not just ride along, we'll hear 'em pipe in like clarinets in an orchestra."<BR/><BR/>"Clarinets?"<BR/><BR/>"You remember, son? Reedy, thin, sour-sounding? The clown voice?"<BR/><BR/>"Oh yeah!
