Too Many Rats

too many rats
nobody crammed them in the box
they fucked their way into hell

When I first read about the rat box study fifty years ago I imagined beatnik rats, wearing berets and dark sunglasses, something he wrote about a "bohemian" lifestyle some rats adapted to.

why am I so interested in rats
I just like that line "rats on the fritz"
that is a brilliant twist of language and I missed it :?
(edit 12/31/2012 lost the tread, "rats on the..."fritz >justwalt link here

I got forty five posts about dead rats with maggots, about my wandering childhood along the water front and back alleys of Baltimore.

somebody does and experiment fifty years ago, and over time it's reified.
