This portrays that moment when a secret meeting is caught. I think of it as if they were meeting in the dark, planning an uprising, and the lights are turned on, and they need to find a way to cover up what they were doing. The title “Klutch” references a “Coffee Klutch”, an informal gathering of women for idle chat. As “Exposed”, they are caught and fleeing to cover up their actions. The floor is an attempt to bring the notion of old dirty floors from unwanted, neglected places.
