"Carry ID everywhere. To a concert. To the grocery store. Understandably to
the airport. Ununderstandably to a poetry show. You never know. Who is asking / who is asking? I want to remind you to stay angry just in case. But not too
angry. Just enough that your shrinking looks like confidence to anyone who
stops you. You understand right? Because they will. They will mow you down.
Chiseled lawn. Perfect six pack body."
