Pen Pals

18OctoberSundayTear-OffsToys of Kim Jong Un, Donald Trump and Dennis Rodman sit at a round white table in a bright room high over a city. All three look away, bored. Kim says, "I haven't read one of these in years." Trump says, "I wish my SI were here to translate." Rodman says, "The phones get along better than any of us." In front of each one, a phone stands on its own and writes a letter, with a glowing line running from phone to phone. Kim's phone says "Dear Donald, P.S. My new torpedo has AI." Trump's says "Dear Kim, Mine too. Tremendous AI." Rodman's, sent to everyone, is a row of red hearts. In the middle of the table sits a tall stack of letters tied with a red ribbon, every one still sealed.
