Bro, my buddy said.
Check out my new phone.
It has 16 Gb of RAM,
20 hours of battery.
He wasn’t done –
It has a 120 Hz screen refresh rate
It has the loudest speakers.
It supports 5G!
But wait, how much did yo-
He still wasn’t finished.
Look at the color bro, so good!
It is a solid aluminum cut!
The Snapdragon chip on this,
Bro, I am telling you, it can
Rip open any phone out there.
Including yours.
How much did you pay? I finally
interjected.
Bro, you should see the camera.
It is the industry best!
How much? I asked again.
$950 after a
10% Student Discount,
He concluded with pride.
I made a quick mental calculation,
With that kind of dough, I could have
Bought almost half of the novels of
The SF Masterworks. Sigh!
I took his phone in my hand,
It was shiny and cold and sexy,
I opened the camera and aimed it at his face.
Ugh, he looked uglier than usual.
