PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
Never in bright colors
(they are not necessary)
And never in disguise.
Unless you are a magician, happy-maker,
or by request—unspoken
or in writing are fine.
Come empty handed, preferably
When least expected and always
when promised
With yourself intact
even if duct tape is necessary
because you can expect
to be whole by the time you leave
but first you have to show up.
