Jonathan Hohensee:

The title cements the piece.

HEY JONATHAN

Sometimes, the title fuels the idea.

GarandFan:

Why does the word "prisoner" jump to mind?

HEY G

Shaved head? Identification on the neck? It does have a woebegone vibe.

Terwiliger:

HEY JOHN

What, too, shall pass?

Given the current state of our gubmint, I'm finding anarchy (not to be confused with anomy) more & more attractive.

Do you mean that the shaved head/tattooed/wanksta/street thug thing shall pass?

Please 'splain your thoughts behind this piece, pliss.

HEY T

What young, head-shaven hothead hasn't extolled the "freedom" of jungle law only to mature into a mortgage-paying, education-subsidizing, SUV-owning workaholic with three wonderful kids and a wife who knows her around a pasta machine?

The piece is about cultural convention.
