When you’re in your early sixties, the semi-state that dominates us says, “Go to retirement, and God will be with you.” It even revokes your warranty when you need it the most. The rulers of this exalted realm are ancient, over seventy and eighty years old, clinging to life with their upright teeth, believing they are immortal.
