Fun & GamesA Poem by Cata FaermanIt's all fun and games until you become a forgery of yourselfLet’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? © 2017 Cata Faerman |
