Do It Yourself

Anything you could ever want, you probably already have. Look around your place. There are so many projects to do. Sweeping the porch, painting the bathroom walls lime green, rearranging the musical instruments, planting nasturtium next to the squash in your garden. There's no need to go to the shopping mall or to punch in your numbers and buy trinkets online (Unless you're supporting etsy.com) Trade books with your neighbor, have a clothing swap with your friends, and make supper at home for a change. Everything you could ever want, you probably already have.

Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.

Words by Shel Silverstein

Tasty, yummy!

If you are a lover, a baker, a t-shirt maker, a chihuahua, a tall tree, a fair maiden sitting under a canopy, a sheet ghost, a parasite host, a monster munching toast, a lima bean, an espresso machine, a liar come clean, a stretchy pretzel man, a kid eating from a garbage can, a train hopper, Cyndi Lauper, a fuzzy cat who is very fat, a candlestick maker, a stitcher, a breaker, if you are a femme fatale, a cat on the prowl, a holy sock, a feathery cock, a newborn baby chick, a boy with a stick, a tall mountain, an all inclusive drinking fountain, a vomit pile, someone with style, a singer, a dreamer, a schemer, a screamer, a lemur, if you are any of these, won't you please, tattoo yourselves across my memories.
