Today's poem is by Nicholas Wong
How to Refund Your Identity
Hang out late
Cover up your feelings at night; always pin or put up your hair as high as possible
Reread news that expires in transit
Ribbon your receipt and your self
Spit in the street, a tree, or souring newspapers
Stare at boredom for a corrosive change
Stare at the candlelight or calicobacks in burning fire
Contact manager if your self is on fire. You will be asked to sign in
Think about the Imperfection of circles
Roll your eyes often to practice calisthenics of sight
Feed yellowed cabbage to hamsters and munch like them
Make funny jokes or comments on atoms, marbles, or pores
Tell your lover that he is confusing like an ATM operated in a foreign language
Pick up history, sprockets, or aversion found on the street
Be nice to all ATMs
Take a sip of bitumen and remember the taste of paved bruises
Shave an anthem in a pond full ofbutt-upheaving ducks
Leave your bleeding wounds in open air
Listen to the nudity of notes
Find ways to get smaller
