Almost sincere enough

A supervisor called a draft almost sincere enough to deploy. That was the day The Soft Sell stopped being a desk and started being a set list. Bright hooks. Smile in the consonants. Irony that ships because it sounds like an ad first.

I still keep a Concord lanyard in the case as a prop. Autographs look like customer-service tickets. Thank you for choosing — even when the news is bad.
