Advice For the Not Dead

Write a Self-Help book that works only for you. Become one with the One, or at least give it a try. It doesn’t get any easier after you’re dead. If you have a nasty personal problem become an advocate for other losers'. Take up the accordion, play Polish polkas for your unwanted friends, soon you will be free of them. Frequent the offices of fully untrained masseurs happy endings almost assured. Remember, there are no living un-struggling poets, so get a job. There are ups and there are downs, be sure to decide beforehand how you want your eggs. Remember no one else has a clue where they’re going either. Dance, dance, dance! If you cannot, then sit it out. No one cares.
