How to live dangerously.

Advice to the safety conscious
(on living dangerously.)

Abandon your convictions -
suspend all disbelief.
Value indecision -
plan to make no plans.

Open a door without knowing
what's on the other side.
Close your eyes on a busy pavement,
until you feel invisible.

Double-take the alien
who stares out of your mirror.
Always make eye-contact -
smile at every stranger on the street.

Chose a new name
to reveal your true identity.
Expect nothing when the
postman calls.

Spend nothing, buy time;
then give some of it away.
Advertise your heart -
for sale or part-exchange.

Admit your darkest faults
to someone you do not trust.
Donate something you cherish
to one who will disdain it.

Discard three prized
possessions after breakfast.
Forget four vital things
before you fall asleep.

Step on the cracks
between the paving stones.
At each road junction
follow the first blue car.

Astound your friends
with magic tricks.
And live every day
the dangerous way.
