I am the straining artery of life.
Arrayed on my altar-desk
are status, icon, pain,
details of humanity.
The rewards of goodness do not seek me out,
here or hereafter. My skin and bones
do not console me like your skin and bones.
I say "look at me",
and you look at me.
Conceit does not apply to history.
