Faked


Faked

We watched as the graph on the monitor showed the market base jumping
wondered if the chutes would kick in and hold and
if the commentators would just be quiet already –
someone’s dying for chrissake-
enough with the last gasp play by play!
He munched on a deli sandwich stuffed with Doritos and mumbled
“you can fake a return on investment or an orgasm but
you can’t fake reproductive endocrinology even at 8AM on a Monday in August”
to which point I had no rejoinder so
I simply nodded and faked my understanding.
