Abandon important belongings in difficult spaces. Place your favorite necklace under the couch. Leave your keys in the crevice between two balusters of the staircase. Store your transit pass at the bottom of a bag of bread. Avoid activities of habit as you work, in hopes that you’ll forget your random granaries for a few days or weeks at a time. Go about your business and your days. When you bend one day to lift the flap beneath your couch, or stretch to dust the balusters, or reach the end of your loaf, come running. Yell to anyone who will listen: “Look! Look! I found it! I found it! I haven’t seen this thing in forever! I’ve really, really missed it!”
