How to prepare a Saturday Take one body. Remove all motion. Let it prove in a room at 14 degrees until the hours rise and collapse under their own weight. In a separate vessel, combine: — sardines (whole, tinned, drained of urgency) — vitamin C to prevent the softening of resolve — vitamin E against the oxidation of intent — manganese, possibly (consult the notebook) — reishi, misspelled, which still counts Fold nothing into nothing. Do not stir. The notebook will absorb what the body refuses to do. Leave it open. The draft will turn the pages for you. Serves one. Resting time: all day. Yield: a shadow the exact length of winter.
