fakery

I can be a wretched fake, in private, intimate performance. I’m an actress capable of imitating spontaneous pleasure - by tricks of hesitation, convulsive vocal play and postures. A mimicry undetectable to an immediate spectator. Aww, thank you, I’ll sigh, as if leaving a good party. “I’ve got a lot of homework to do,” I’ll add, a minute later. To clear the stage.
