April is NPM: Hafiz

I've been reading Daniel Ladinsky's A Year With Hafiz.  Hafiz was a Persian poet who lived in 14th century Shiraz.  The short poems collected by Ladinsky are occasionally sweet, contemplative, or prescriptive.  I particularly liked the pithiness of today's poem:

ABOUT JUDGMENT DAY

I hope you have come to your senses
and stopped believing everything you
hear.
