  1. To collect collagen, stack bones in a large pot and boil.<\/li>\n
  2. Fill a sachet with expensive spices. Long pepper, galangal, saffron. Strength, hex-breaking, wealth. The collagen is a memory. The spice is fervor. This process alchemizes life into a stable molecular structure.<\/li>\n
  3. Strain broth into vessel with colander. All solid matter should be left behind. This is spirit.<\/li>\n
  4. Wait. Under normal circumstances, spirit will evaporate but this process traps it in gelatin.<\/li>\n
  5. Place vessel close to chest and spin until released.<\/li>\n
  6. To serve, cut slowly. Go deep. Connective tissue is not severed, it multiplies.<\/li>\n
  7. Share with lover.<\/li>\n
  8. Jello will dance on the plate. This is evidence that the jello feels joy<\/li>\n
  9. Eat but do not merely consume. Savor.<\/li>\n
  10. To release spirit, press jello against roof of mouth until it pops. As jello melts, the collagen will absorb into the tongue, into the blood, into the body.<\/li>\n
  11. Make a pact. Whoever survives must dig up the other and harvest the bones. The earth is greedy. Move rapidly.<\/li>\n
  12. Cut slowly. Stack bones in a pot. The connective tissue is still there. Hesitation is proof that collagen is active and the connection has not been severed.<\/li>\n
  13. Fill a sachet with expensive spices. Cilantro, ginger, salt. Purity, health, longevity. The collagen remembers.<\/li>\n
  14. Strain broth into second favorite vessel. Share with someone new. This is another contract.<\/li>\n
  15. Repeat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This is a recipe for infinite jello<\/p>\n

    this recipe is a threat<\/p>\n

    in this recipe the cook will melt<\/p>\n

    down your flesh and<\/p>\n

    break down bones<\/p>\n

    and boil until all<\/p>\n

    the water evaporates so<\/p>\n

    all that\u2019s left is your<\/p>\n

    soul<\/p>\n

    in a prism of collagen<\/p>\n

    set into a decorative mold<\/p>\n

    in a shape that you hate<\/p>\n

    stuck in the fridge fusing<\/p>\n

    with antifreeze and bacteria<\/p>\n

    and then the chef will eat your femur<\/p>\n

    and your skin<\/p>\n

    and blood and your<\/p>\n

    memories and your dick<\/p>\n

    and your eyeballs until<\/p>\n

    the chef is sick<\/p>\n

    \n

    \n

    This is a recipe for infinite jello<\/p>\n

    and it is revenge when you (the jello (dead))<\/p>\n

    come back up my throat to burn my gums and stain<\/p>\n

    the bathroom cadmium red<\/p>\n

    because the chef cannot get rid of you even<\/p>\n

    when they break you<\/p>\n

    down and eat you<\/p>\n

    whole<\/p>\n

    and the chef is scared of<\/p>\n

    the mess you made<\/p>\n

    so they scrub<\/p>\n

    but the sugar and bones<\/p>\n

    and all your memories<\/p>\n

    are still stained with<\/p>\n

    powdered bleach and poopouri<\/p>\n

    \n

    This is a recipe for infinite jello<\/p>\n

    this recipe is a contract<\/p>\n

    it says we will be together forever<\/p>\n

    and ever<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n
