We Can Change Your Life

​I got an email the other day.

​”Listen man, we can help.
We can change your life.

​You need to:
Curate.
Curate.
Curate.

​I read on.

Remember:

Stay on brand.
Run your pictures by us.
Try to write something cheery.

We’ve got some new friends for you.
New haunts.
New life.

​And while you are at it, you could smarten up:

New haircut.
New clothes.
New shoes.

​We know a stylist in the city.
You’ll be a whole new person.
You’re writing will change
Just turning the volume down a little
So much easier
Smooth out the edges.
Sand them down.

Then you’ll fit in so much better.

Get in touch.

I thought to myself,
‘I am creating.’

I put it in the bin.
