Dorm Noodles

Step One: Remove plastic lid.

Warning: contents kept under pressure will release onto those in close proximity.

Step Two: Empty all contents from the package into bowl.

Step Three: Microwave until sufficiently hot.

Let it rest in your hands until they are exhausted and numb.

Step Four: Add salt to taste. 

A recipe to keep your masochistic little hands busy 

while your mind wanders into dark spaces.

Step Five: Enjoy

life free from heartache.
