"Spiel" (Word Golf)

Spiel

She could say the mistake was fake

or pour him a little more saké,

plead that she’s not as sane
as portrayed, not the same

as any synonym for tame,
contained (who doesn’t teem

with vicissitudes?), to seem

the rub rather than mending seam, 

rather than soothing sonata, to beam
ambiguously. More words for the ream

all mean one thing: she’s unmistakably real. 

~LCMH

[Word Golf in this instance means we go from "fake" to "real" in ten moves, one letter at a time.]
