Be a mirror (but don’t look in one)
Wander through deserts til your ankles give out
Pretend the port-a-potty you found was an abandoned alien pod
Pee in it
Don’t tell anyone
Choose a different god to pray to every six months
Love lightly and often
Buy a marble toothbrush holder from Bed, Bath & Beyond
Drink more water than wine
Ask with your mouth
Answer with your eyes
Set your alarm for 5 a.m.
Snooze it til 5:30, then 5:45
Write “enough” on a postcard and tape it to your bedroom door
Get your oil changed
Move the earth with a shovel and a rake
Fall in! Fall in!
Eat watermelon
Turn the lights off when they flicker
Wear socks to bed
Return to your rose and bleed on her thorns
Go slow
Take a left at Albuquerque
Don’t forget your mask
