SONYA GADET MOLANSKY



focus your attention on something that doesn’t ask for your attention 

 

ask yourself who you are, don't answer the question


cut all of your pants and shirts in half


speak only when you want to


say each of your past lovers last names


take a photo of yourself that looks nothing like you


remember what the pool is like


count every word you say for one day


smoke a cigarette in your dreams  


weep about the thing you miss


forget about the thing you lack


paint all of your furniture green


recognize paradise


take 6 pictures of 6 red things


notice when someone disrespects you


bring your future self with you to work, then the grocery store and then to bed,

don't forget them tomorrow


understand that you're good and bad


demande la vérité


write the first sentence of a novel


focus your attention on something that doesn't ask for your attention


ask why it hurts


finish


count all the teeth in your mouth


look at yourself and see your grandmother


look at yourself and see a child


drink one can of beer


whisper something out loud right now


ask yourself if its what you wanted


remember each room of your childhood home


compare two fruits of the same tree


evaluate if its your desire or someone else's


don't think about kissing


write down what makes you an outcast, use this tool


stop saying fuck


learn a poem by heart


cry all the way to the store


find a similarity between the thing you love and the thing you hate


never wear blue again


deliver a rose to the one you can't stand


tell your father whats up


notice love


dedicate the space between one sunrise and sunset strictly to play


cut off all your hair while looking out your bedroom window


perform one action which is out of character  


ask nothing for three days
