Acting 1s justa
fancy word for
formal deceit

Sonam Kaloti
Arts Editor

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 J 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.
