Do's and Don'ts.
Dispose of batteries and lightbulbs properly.
Take out the trash every Tuesday night.
Turn on the fan when taking a shower.
It's not that he especially likes to be a prick
But there are rules.
Living by the rules is what allows Erik to occasionally break them
Study hard, A- on Trig midterm.
Keep non personnel out of the backstage area.
Consume 7.5 pieces of broccoli before excusing one's self from the table.
Occasionally, Erik allows himself one minute 27 seconds.
87 seconds to wonder what his life would be like with a little less structure
Then he goes back to the grid of what to do and what not to do.
Never lie to a police officer. Adopt a respectful, polite tone.
Test smoke alarms periodically.
Apply sunblock.
And at the end of the day he crosses the line and mounts a flight of steps
The sun glances off his glasses and sends them winking into the pink streaked sky
While Erik tastes a sleepy mouth warm and waiting for his tongue.
Look both ways before crossing the street.
Pay in exact change when possible.
Sleep in cycles of 3 hours each.
Don't fall in love with your best friend.
