What I Learned from a Professional Gamer

What I learned from a Professional Gamer

present tense
finger jittering

what?? in kindergarten
I was painting
     butterfly

               technique
no wonder I get beat
                      every time

grandkids, today, skip the basics
and turn professional
in no time at all

I’m pointing, stabbing
attempting to beat
the impossible

not only
must you know what to do
but
you must be nimble
and quick

one day these kids
will meet their match

I let them have fun
before they grow up

slow down
not too fast
hee hee hee
you know whose laughing
not me

…yet

Scary stiff, at least to this naive waif. Well-depicted! Sure frightened the 'bejabbers' out of me. ~ NBTAC (Never been to a casino). Gershon
