Target Rats - May 12th

May 12th - Target Rats - Seventh song. Tuesday is my day off. Halfway through my first cup of coffee this morning, someone rang my doorbell. I was still in my underwear. It was the Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation going door to door to check properties for rats, and to bait them with rodenticide. Yes it is a word. It heled me round out a piece I was working on and couldn't find a direction for. I was just looping and layering with a new looper. The Books show 9 days ago was definitely an influence as well, though their pieces are a bit more thoughtfully conceived than I am capable of giving to at this time or state of mind.
