Dedicated to Drew Holser. Premiere by Drew Holser.

The word "rut" has three explanations: the tracks left by wheels, the estrus of certain animals.and boring things. Although it is just a coincidence that these very different explanations appearon the same word, my thinking in this work is not limited to this.In recent years, I think "rut" is like a description of some trendy thinking. Various fast-food,popular" , and entertainment industries have fourished, just like a sudden estrus, but most of themare not nutritious, quite boring, and even serious enough to overdraw the future of a nation. Thewheel of history has been turned countless times, and this craze of "enioving the present and overdrawingthe future" always breaks out.
