“Travel through Europe in a wagon with a troupe of occult clowns.
Wear long black capes. Navy wigs. Powder.
Iodine falls. Rings of coal around the eyes.
Red patent leather platforms.
Leather jumpsuit with studded gauntlets.
Don’t speak for weeks. Pretend you can’t hear.
Live in drag at age 70.
Long chocolate nails. Ropes of emeralds.
Make insane secret unshowable films.
Build a secret underground garden.
Learn hypnosis. Cast spells.
Expand psychic powers. Write volumes. Sculpt.
Crude primitive jewelry and diamonds.
Live in a vast cave and mural every surface.
Sleep in a giant clam.
Eat only off silver.
Wear insufferable amounts of perfume.
Click your tongue. Hiss and stare.
Use fame and fortune to highest zone advantage.
Let poverty teach.”
