turnover.
40,000 dead today--
the usual turnover,
like skin cells sloughing
away,
50,000 newborns
take their place.
are death and taxes connected,
birth just another investment?
is there a machine
someplace
that tracks the profits,
takes a percentage
of the
transfer,
our time on this plane
just a chance
to accrue life interest
for the soul brokers
who know how
to collect it?
