Acting as if I’m an actor:
do I get bonus points
if I get cast?
Must be good at this
broadcast thing. Never trained
or passed
an exam or degree
to help me pretend to pretend to be
someone I’m not. Never trained
in this art, but I’ll surpass
the other fakers. For who’s best at this? Contrast
filmmakers? Put me in black and white
at last and I will shine in this newscast to all the fans I will amass.
If I can’t make it to the Grammy’s, I’ll just pretend I have one already.
