Amazing stuff! This seems to sum up life as we know it! Mundane and vapid for the most part - but is it really that difficult to make choices more interesting? Definite food for thought...

I'm fascinated by this poem, even though English isn't even my mothertongue. I love it.

I really enjoyed this poem. I first heard of it on the American popular television show "Gilmore Girls" when Rory went to a dance with her boyfriend Dean and he found the book in her purse. I think Dorothy must have had a bad life and wanted to end it badly. I have seen this reaction in many of her poems. She has one entitled Epitaph that might be of interest to anyone that read this poem.
