Formula to Soul-Saving


Never forget to poke holes in potatoes
(it’s the only excuse for violent stabs)
Change the way you walk, often
(so even Google Earth can’t track you down)
Wear a loose tie on your neck on Sundays
(a fancy demeanor is a powersuit)  
Smooth-talk your doc into a scrip for opiates
(anxiety is a trending fad)
Be ready to respond to the existential questions
(have three answers, rotate appropriately) (hint: the best answer notes that the end point is not the goal. stay in point A and chart the graph of your laughter).
