Excerpt
Read emails twice before sending them
Always speak loud and clear
Never get offended by jokes
Always wear black
Bike everywhere
Never smell of sweat, but also not of perfume
Never get drunk.
The poem was created in a workshop preparing for the CPH:DOX 2020 opening ceremony, with Alberte Lings Skifte, Carmina Guldmann, Amisuna Berthelsen and Malu Rosing.
