Disreputable.
Unctuous. Overly
familiar in a fashion that makes you feel
dirty afterwards. Pretended
friendliness. The tight grin on the
swindler's face. The
salesman takes you out to a lunch you couldn't afford, so you'll buy his shoddy product with your
employer's money.
Have a cigar. I'm smiling so you won't see how much
I hate this.
Tawdry. Keep me high and I'll ball you forever. Self-hate covered with a smile and too much makeup. I'll do anything you want me to, if you'll pretend not to notice that I'm killing myself -- and you, too. I'll grin when you humiliate me inside and don't even know you're doing it ... but you won't be smiling when it's your turn.
Brightly-colored brand name signs hanging over slums. Brightly-colored brand name shirts hanging over blackened hearts.
Desire plus guilt plus cynicism plus apathy. Everyone's corrupt -- and you're no better. Quit pretending you aren't pretending.
