The 365 Project

we’re living in
dangerous times
everybody needs
a survival kit

pack carefully
there isn’t much
room

you’ll need:

three cans of irony
quick wit
spare hearts and
a book of unwritten rules

you’ll need a photograph
of paavo nurmi
a bottle opener and
an empty bottle

find some skin
thickener
a recyclable container
and a soft drive
with an undo button

you’ll need a redo button

a self-made songbook
writer’s cramp
travel pillbox and
an incurable disease

you’ll need
infinite capacity for love
and a healthy appreciation
of contradictions
