Epoch

Locked in 
time. 
Prisoners. 
Prisoners each 
to their 
own 
epoch. 
Choice. 
No choice. 
Conform, 
live as the 
time dictates. 
No choice. 
Look at 
their faces! 
Dealing. 
Dealing best 
they can 
with what’s 
been handed. 
No choice. 
Rules in place. 
Each time 
different. 
Must be 
what time 
dictates. 
No choice!
