NAPOWRIMO CONTEST // 21st APRIL 2013 // 17 FORTUNE COOKIES

And now the prompt! Today I challenge you to re-write Frank O’Hara’s Lines for the Fortune Cookies. Hopefully, you won’t have any problem — after all, the ideal fortune is a one-liner, and one-liners thrive on a very poetic compactness of expression. This should be a good chance for all of us to practice that, and amusing to boot. Happy writing!

 

 

you are so unique and different, like every other human being.

you will suck(cess) in life!

you will meet Jesus soon, but you won’t recognize him.

you will share this fortune biscuit on instagram, facebook, twitter, pinterest and every other fuckin’ social network.

you are beautiful. that’s it.

you will marry a dickhead and you will get used to it.

it’s actually better you marry rich. trust this little cookie.

the future is stupid. you also are. it’s gonna work.

oh, it seemed a good idea to you at the time. am i right?

you are so disappointed you turned into everything you said you’d never be. ain’t you?

you will read a book tomorrow, instead of watching your daily porno and masturbate. yes i know.

common people envy you.

you will buy some good weed and deliver it to the address on the back. now.

you’ve just eaten chinese. are you sure?

you are a (smart) ass.

you were the fastest out of millions of sperms.

i was trying to write a good compliment but nothing came to mind.
