Neil Poiré's farewell letter

Journal entry

 * Now I know. Life is perfect.
 * Life is excellent.
 * Life is full of magic, beauty, possibility.
 * And drama
 * And surprises
 * Numerous surprises
 * You, Father, are also in for a surprise
 * You did not wish for your son to become an actor
 * You chose another home for him– the army
 * So your son has a surprise for you:
 * His feet will never touch the ground again
 * He will never again taste life’s beauty
 * And you, Father, soon you must
 * Reach up to your son’s hanging corpse
 * And take the sack full of crowns for which you sold his life
 * to butchers


 * Neil Poiré
