1. Know that every day is an opportunity for transformation

lick her flesh with the end of a live wire until her metal nerves

cause the changing of the seasons

wipe your mouth clean

then refresh her memory of how it used to be

listen to Joe Strummer and Joey Ramone one more time

before they turn on the war

his intention is desire but the accident will occur in the corridor

as he unbuttons your shirt he is confronted with the tragedy

of a very foreign landscape

the scalpel is not so cold against your nipples

close your eyes tight, right at the top of the hill

pedal as fast as you can

whispering gratitude

whispering "holy magnet"

then listen

choking on the juices of a ripe moon you realize the darkness

your bones begin to come undone

the efforts of a single firefly against the monumental absence of light

cause you to fall to your knees begging for sickness

after you have trampled your neighbour’s lilac bushes

lick the ink drops off the dining room table

coach your children to use scissors

for editing the world

I think this means:

going down the highway smiling is a good thing

after you have run over a dog

clean the barn over and over

when you stick a needle in your arm make sure it is made of pure silver,

allow the mercury to ooze slowly into your veins

then step into the traffic (you will find this is akin to falling in love)

if you look out your window and see a horizon of voodoo dolls

accept the dance

on enemies, use only the kinds of weapons

you would want used on yourself

forgive the man who was caught kissing the volcano,

his disfigured lips are his final mistress.
