Things You Don’t Want to Do
Overidentify with clay pigeons. Find comfort in one-trick ponies. Sweep the mashed potatoes under the carpet. Be cowed by a thousand raised eyebrows. Sleep on a pillow that wakes up without you. Move next door to the house of twenty cars. Imagine you’ll be alone on the road less traveled. Smile weakly when your name is mentioned. Compare yourself to leftovers. Settle for suffering. Always choose vanilla.
