No Can Do

Collect up winter clothes (such as gloves, warm coat, thicker shirts etc.) in a storage area, for use at certain times of each year (each time a season ‘rolls around’)

Collect fresh produce at intervals and prepare daily food

Talk on the phone to agents of rapacious corporations – suppliers, lenders, even representatives of the local and federal government

Come out of bed and exercise, eat, shit, bathe, look out the window, keep appointments

Say hello, explain myself at length to everyone

Stay informed about what is going on in the world

Combat physical illness

Buy new shoes and new silverware when the old ones wear out or break

Psych myself up and make an impression

Traipse around like a sheep on a green hill

Suffer each small inconvenience and regrettable setback

Utter every cliché

Wax-impress
