MY LIFE DOES THE MATH my life poorer by a day thinks it only has so much it can imagine and so it must save and be careful not to spend its imagination on things it won't have time to use like luxury vacations to the moon but then it counts again this isn't so bad it's more than I thought and don't forget the future also has lost a day so the little I can imagine compares well with what remains of time my life feels rich it invents new days of the week and names them after false gods we will have in the future and then discard in a further future while saving the longer week and converting the holy days to days off for drinking and gifts or lounging on beach chairs by the sea of tranquillity
