"1. Tell love you are going to Junior's Deli on Flatbush Avenue inBrooklyn to pick up a cheesecake, and if loves stays, it can have half.It will stay.
2. Tell love you want a momento of it and obtain a lock of its hair.Burn the hair in a dime-store incense burner with yin/yang symbols onthree sides. Face southwest. Talk fast over the burning hair in aconvincingly exotic language. Remove the ashes of the burnt hair and usethem to paint a moustache on your face. Find love. Tell it you aresomeone new. It will stay.
3. Wake love up in the middle of the night. Tell it the world is onfire. Dash to the bedroom window and pee out of it. Casually return tobed and assure love that everything is going to be all right. Fallasleep. Love will be there in the morning."— Tom Robbins (Still Life with Woodpecker)
