Fun & Games

A Poem by Cata Faerman
"

It's all fun and games until you become a forgery of yourself

"

Let’s play a game of pretend

 

Let’s pretend our skins are poreless and scarless and firm

Let’s pretend the hourglass was designed after our curves

Let’s pretend it is not the ampoule that shaped us that way

Let’s pretend we are not actually playing

 

Let’s pretend contentment and submission

Let’s pretend apathy and frivolity

Let’s pretend love

Let’s pretend we created this game

 

What if we both stopped playing?

Would you believe it if I did?

Or would I still be pretending

Would I betray you

Would you deceive me

Would both of us be the fools

 

Did you pretend you wanted to play?

Did you know when you started the game

We had already lost?
