Notes About The Poem

Time

currency of the State

My purpose in life does not include a hankering to charm society. ~James Dean
Time is the currency of the State, with gold life-minutes added for compliance and subtracted for disobedience. Mother’s life is now one-forty-two; Father’s is ninety- nine!
