A welcome, pretty much all-inclusive affirmation of free will. *
Choice sucks.
Vintage Yarrow--and that means excellent. Makes you think, moves you to action--or not.
Absolutely love how this works: both in humor/seriousness & the clever form.
The last line makes me wonder if one chooses not to die nor to continue living what is behind curtain number three. Affirmation that much of what we view as choice is in the hands of fate?
good to read you again :)
Thank you, Amanda, Mat, Gary, Darryl, Ed, and Paula. Great comments!

Love this, Bill.
That last line gets me. So, one can die or keep sort of living is the way I read it. I love stuff like this.*
Thank you, Larry, Sam, and Diane!
