Across the pixelated clouds, jumps a little man in red and blue.
He jumps hard and fast through the massive flood of mismatched minions. 
The only thing on his tiny mind is get the girl. 
Course this is not the first time he has to go...

Games between Earth and another space world
But it’s Level 2 through 5 in swirl
Various games testing your ability to win
‘It’s all levels calling the stops at the very end
The wrong Earth message sent to unknown space
It’s the Earth from the outer world of space who...

My dad brought home Mario around 1986.
We plugged it in right away and started busting bricks.
Tecmo Bowl and Baseball stars were next in line to play.
Me and dad went head to head almost everyday.

Contra had its jungles and I became the best.
Gunsmoke was my favorite...

FYI: I justed wanted to try some onomatopoeia, my first time really using it.


Thump thump thump
My feet upon the stone

Ba-boom Ba-boom Ba-boom
My heart as I run

Clank clank clank
Enemy armor upon the stone

Huff huff huff
Enemy breathing as they run

Shing!
My blade unsheathed

Clash!
Goes our swords

Thud 
Falls his head

Thump...

I told my eye doctor about my blurred sight
And that it had caused me somewhat of a fright.

It only took a minute for him to surmise
The problem within each of my eyes.

He said, “There is...

The Hydralisks are assembling just out of range,
Supported by Roaches, Infestors, Banelings,…
The Mutalisks are hovering beyond our turrets,
Brutalisks are moving—it’s looking quite desperate.

There’s a silver lining for each “end of the world”:

I could spend my last...

both of us
were plugged in

we hit the power

the game

we played for
hours upon hours
into the night
until finally

she fell forward
onto her lap

unsure of what
to do to help
i just left...

Suppose we live in a video game world where
Somewhere, in another dimension, a teenager
Is manipulating us with a sophisticated control.
Consider, it is he who’s in charge of our existence,
Allowing us to move about at his will; and perhaps,
If he gets bored with us, he may...

I wake up screaming
Max the Axe has just chopped me into bits
It is not the first time
but this time I felt it.
I glare at my husband who is still clicking buttons.
Can you give that a rest? I ask.
He does not hear me.
He is in lahlah...

Have you ever mourned the blah-ness of your life? Yearning for something new to happen?
Daring to hope for something fresh to be excited about?  Wishing your days away, worried that it has not happened? Angry for no reason other than you have forgotten that...

He is twelve and kind-hearted. 
I agree to try another video game because I love him.
He keeps giving me glowing reviews.
“You are doing well, grandma!”
“You got a lot further than last time, grandma!”
Sometimes I know when my spaceship has crashed and burned.
Other times I keep...

We are all in one room
Morey is playing a violent video game 
because there are blood splatters on the screen
every time I look at his I-pad.

My husband is sitting behind me watching 
a movie on a laptop.  Both he and Morey are wearing
headphones because...
