I start fiddling with my cell phone trying to listen to Beethoven’s Ode to Joy on Spotify.  I am missing some understanding and can’t make it work.  I can hum part of music but I need more listening until I can hum all of Ode to Joy.

I caught rat #2 with potato chips. Still it startles me to look at the dead rat.  I put the rat in the trash and am ready to set out trap for rat #3.  I am getting stronger.

Sitting in the late afternoon sun reading THE NIGHT TIGER.  My friend is digging in the garden, pulling weeds, supporting the downtrodden plants.

I take out the cold winkled clothes from the dryer and fold and shake them out.  Two days they were abandoned in the dryer but now they are safely in my room.

Back to reading about the end of the world on the THE STAND tonight
