playing the part

assuming the voice of another
i jaunt.
in the sarcasm and wit
of one far superior

i scoff and solve
all in a single breath
paying certain fancy
only to that of grave importance

forgetting indeed
that these usual things
are what should be sending
my heart aflutter

as i wink
(a talent not quite employed)
lording over my emotions
playing with detachment

huffah.
please self,
do remember
this character proves rather useful
