Nice lament. I very much like the whole idea behind this. Original.
yes.
Like very much as a poem. Want to print it out and put it on my bulletin board, because I need the reminder.
The last line fails to convince me, though: widow/orphan protection is on.
It may suggest very minimal paragraphs; then it's understood and terrific.
