From How to Be Perfect by Ron Padgett
[ID: An excerpt of a poem that reads:
Hope for everything. Expect nothing.
Take care of things close to home first. Straighten up your room
before you save the world. Then save the world.
Know that the desire to be perfect is probably the veiled expression
of another desire—to be loved, perhaps, or not to die. End ID]
