listen for the light to come on

Decide:  differentiate between too close and not close enough

      Add the sum of two stakes rising exponentially with the color of clouds and all that rapture I never had time for

Then when you think you’ve got it all figured out

divide it by any words you’ve ever wished you hadn’t said:

complete the sentence and say it again, this time avoid that stand still and stare while you’re struggling to speak stutter

      Multiply all the times you looked at her like it was the first time by the time it took you to realize that your body wanted you to let go weeks ago

Swallow the storm as it sweeps you up and in and remembers a day or a year when you were truly satisfied

      Stabilize emotion with duct tape, a needle, and some floss but beware of beautiful eyes- they all inescapably say what you want to hear, just for the sake of hearing

Benefit from benefit itself- profit off of someone else’s pain: profess your perception on the matter and make them understand you’re right just because you are and they’re wrong simply because someone has to be

Remember to keep your eyes on the road headlights ahead of you, ten and two o’clock steering wheel position hands press firm, firmer yet- do not let go

      Wake up still tired: sleep has become an impending indulgence of sorts: it’s irresponsibly imminent but never important enough when there are words to be written or read, music to make or hear, thoughts to think, ect.

      Record every event as it occurs. If it isn’t already, force it to appear precious, then paint a picture of it on the canvas of your memory with charcoal and chalk: don’t forget to forget all about it
