My Defective Life

...Not the kind of wheel you fall asleep at...

To all of us the thought of heaven is dear--
Why not be sure of it and make it here?
No doubt there is a heaven yonder too,
But 'tis so far away--and you are near.

--from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
(translation by Richard Le Gallienne)
