Get a job.  Walk to work.  Wear a suit and brown glossy shoes.  Paint your nails.  Wear black.  Never wear black.  Lip stains on your paper cups, heavy mugs.  Scribble poetry in business meetings.  Whistle in the elevator.  Smile on the subway (it'll scare them).  Cut your hair.  Pin it in curls.  Take cold showers.  Never shower.  Wear five dollar perfume.  Stop reading magazines.  Lie about politics.  Change your name.  Buy watercolors.  Primary colors.  Work in black and white.  Take pictures.  Stop seeing.  Listen to buried records.  Listen to silence.  Pack your bags.  Donate everything.  Step into new shoes.  Update your passport.  Leave this city.  Fall in love.  Break your heart.  Break a bone.  Watch death.  Touch old things.  Lose a friend.  Lose yourself.  Lose 10 pounds.  Lose a parent.  Change.  Forget.  Never forget.  Wear black.  Never wear black.  Lipstick.  Night air.  Tangerines and overripe plums.  Touch your toes.  Touch your lips.  Touch your heart and break it in half.

          Pack your bags.
