Art of Convers(at)ion

by Kristi Paik

i raise my eyebrows
and put on the smile
i practiced in the mirror
i think I look interested
but I feel like i think I don’t

Oh, the infamous fake, phony laugh
that echoes hollowly throughout the halls

it’s all just too easy
and to say the least
unsatisfactory.

Kristi, you've captured dynamics here that I have felt as well. Certain disquietude at these occasions. Thanks.
