Recipe for Success Rachel M. Simon

Take a dollop of eighth-grade embarrassment burn it in our cheeks for when doors swing toward you faster than your arms can brace. Befriend lost children in the produce. Pitch your voice two feathers louder than the hush of meeting your girlfriends's older brother. Never break plates. Once plates are smashed consider creating a mosaic. Keep broken glass in a paper bag for two years. Upon packing for a new apartment discuover bag of glass and discard. Situate yourself in a seat corresponding to your desired birth order. Consider what a cape might do for your aesthetic. Return cape to store clothing rack. Mix it, mix it good. Dispose of any mementos in your memento box to which the associated memory does not evoke instant boil. Phone some cousins, compare childhoods, lose touch.
