grey sweatpants & hair combed with too much oil
picking videos from the gallery
wire racks plastic dvd backs stickers
eclipse critics blurbs & the literature
printed covering designs of Gothica

the Shining & House of 1000 Corpses.
x-box games washed down by Mountain Dew
video screen glues childs eyes freezes
development or enhances cordination
he was me is my past friday nights

under pixelated light where first person
shooting stars could wash away empty basement
walls & only the open rafters of the ceiling
could capture in virtual reality
true glowing reds of a perfect fall

crunching leaves dissolve into lines
of code & controllers become hands
held guiding past minefields of brown
neon yellow flashes avoidable
& replayable after lifelines dried

& drained bottomed out a game over
over played paused & returned in tiny
plastic coffins to graveyard galleries
passed on pressed play graduated high
school end of days.
