An Introduction
Things You’ll Need:
A mask (preferably reminiscent of that
cookie-cutter mannequin you’ll soon forget)
A freeze-dried smile (it will last longer than a fresh one—
trust me, that’s important)
This goes with the happiness you will need to fold carefully
into the corners of your eyes (don’t worry, they won’t notice if it’s fake—
lies aren’t lies, and
truth is lying vegetative in a black market hospital)
Things You’ll Leave Behind and Swear You Never Had:
True love
Knowledge
Free will
The comfort of familiarity that
outlines your reflection.
Please collect all necessary items
and exchange the above virtues for
the correct currency before entering
the mainstream.
