THE GAME THEY PLAYED

“Artist, actress, secretary, textile heiress, nerd, artist, sailor, academic, writer, writer, editor,  landlord, dog walker, don’t know, don’t know, barfly, businesswoman, realtor, cellist (half-blind), singer, biologist, guru, furniture restorer, nerd, nerd, impresario of disgruntlement.” She waited until she was sure he was done. “Which one am I?” she said. He shook his head. “I am so dissatisfied with your answer,” she said. “Do you know now?” he said.  She punched the air between them, high on playful malice.
