One day you are a child. The next day you are an adult.
Laws divide the span of our lives
so that one day we are a child
and the next day we are an adult.
One day we must go to public school
the very next day
public education stops.
One day we must not
drink alcohol
smoke cigarettes
acquire certain drugs
vote
buy a gun
work
gamble
view certain images
have sex
marry
own a home
or drive a car
and the very next day
we can.
