To laugh in falsetto
And bribe with toothy smiles
To flatter men
And politely degrade myself for minimum wage
To ignore the lacework of frown lines pooling around each of our eyes
To etch teethmarks deep across my tongue
From every almost slip
To remember the script
To save 15%
To say “Thank you very much”
