What a wry, dry wit you have, Ivor. I love the idea that someone (other than Shakespeare, of course) would write a suicide note in iambic pentameter, and the final line had me in stitches. I will admit to mistaking 'discontented' for 'disconnected', but it lost none of its impact as a result. A fantastic poem! S :)
