VICE-PRESIDENT VICKI’S GUIDELINES · FOR THE
MAWRITES
Grab the object of your desireCast your whims in concrete
Chapter 13
rYou see, it’s about time we gave up all the softness and sensitivity and passivity and patience they wished on us about a million years ago,
2Because look what it got us,
3sWhich is not much,
4Not to mention the fact that there’s just not enough time left to be coy about anything.
5That’s why it’s so important to remember the part about tCertainty,
6Which always came easily to us anyway,
7And makes everything a lot simpler,
8Especially when you don’t have to hide your feelings anymore.
9uStop trying to see the other side,
10And making allowances,
11And holding back because someone you’ve never met might not approve,
12vAnd biting your tongue because some idiot in your life would definitely not approve.
13Be certain instead.
14About everything.
15If you have a whim, cast it in the concrete of certainty,
16And stop second-guessing yourself.
17It’s your whim, after all,
18And if you can’t be certain about your own whims,
19What can you be certain about?
