We're having an Nintendo kind of day.
Eyes instant glued to screen,
we sit
like boulders some old glacier left behind,
enveloped by strange symphonies of
chirping beeps,
immobile, but for
fingers twitching and eyes
glazing,
inflicting imaginary deaths on
phantom enemies en route
to spectral victories,
as we ourselves become
the human transistors
closing
this electric circuit
of adventure.
We are having fun I think.
It's an Nintendo
kind of day.
December 1988
