До космодрома

Трудная жизнь прожита почти даром.
Вот бы занятье роялям, гитарам...

Чем не предмет площадного искусства –
Это, судьбу победившее чувство?

Время отброшено в средневековье.
Снег, окропленный чистейшею кровью.

Рев палачей и мужские рыданья.
Где вы живете, лучи состраданья?

Около спиленных лагерных вышек
Жизнь поднимается выше и выше.

Все здесь испытано, все нам знакомо.
Все – от концлагеря до космодрома.

I think about how angry I was that my dad (Hugh Everett III (November 11, 1930 – July 19, 1982))  didn't take better care of himself. How he never went to a doctor, let himself become grossly overweight, smoked three packs a day, drank like a fish and never exercised. But then I think about how his colleague mentioned that, days before dying, my dad had said he lived a good life and that he was satisfied. I realize that there is a certain value in my father's way of life. He ate, smoked and drank as he pleased, and one day he just suddenly and quickly died. Given some of the other choices I'd witnessed, it turns out that enjoying yourself and then dying quickly is not such a hard way to go.
