PROLOGUE

Bill:   Have you read this Cyberpoem thing?

Liao:   (raising an eyebrow) Should I?

Bill:   Well, I dig it!

Gus:    It might be a fun way to pass the time. Not many customers are coming here.

Nadya:  Hmm. If we start talking about poetry, it might freak out potential customers.

Liao:   When no customers are around, let's talk about anything we want. However, 
        if customers are within earshot, we should discuss company products.

Bill:   (nodding) Seems fair enough to me.

Nadya:  Yeah, I'd rather talk about poetry than merely pretend to be busy. 
        Look at this trade show – it is an awesome joke?! So many people are pretending!

Liao:   Relax. What seems like pretence or jest is most often unsure people attempting to do their best.
