Diana Adams – To Do


Diana Adams

To Do


Store lacquered arms
in chest.

Assemble champagne maze.
Push chairs to harmonize
(follow the curve of eggs).

Paint screen
a rare automotive green.

Silver ice. Chop dogs.

Place shrimp in hip baskets (or
if time permits, pit bleak olives).

Pick-up your monkey
a little bit.

Defrost coffin.

As guests arrive
bleed them outside.
