Shatter

In our game,
there is a paddle
and there are three balls,
which bounce not in a perfect array
but one which shifts
erratic,
tumultuous,
chaotic.

And the balls must come home to the paddle.

The advantage to having three
is that while they may not always
coexist harmoniously
The player receives more Points
As long as they all stay.

If one is lost, then Points,
the lifeblood and ultimate goal of the game
accrue slower.
Still, there is a kind of harmony:
an ease of play.

So if one bounces off the other two
Not out of
Malice
Sin or
Spite
but because, like the others,
it needed to bounce,
They will likely refuse him
It's hard for three to come home
To one space
So two may take the same angle
Form a twisted strand
of DNA
While the other remains on the outside

In a dire situation, the paddle
will always choose the two over the one
More Points that way.

Maintaining one is easier still than two
for a time.
But eventually that one will move faster
and faster
until, panicked and desperate, it loses control

And then there will be no paddle
To come home to.

Twitch

I have a weird nervous twitch
In my left eye
It started flaring up again
Recently

On a field trip as a high school freshman
It twitched when some hot senior
Fixed my stupid Harry Potter glasses
And smiled at me

I’m on my living room table
(We’re friends again)
Making pylons and probes
Pylons and probes
Pylons and probes
Keep it up.
Alt-4-E, 4-E, 4-E,
I have a routine going
Not that I’m accomplishing
Much but somehow leading a fake future army
To victory is the closest I come to feeling
Like I’m accomplishing much of anything
These days.

Did you call your uncle?
No, haven’t gotten around to it
Plus there’s a time difference,
Click click click click 4-E
Well, you need to be thinking about this
Click click twitch twitch 4-E, 5-Z,
And that, don’t forget that
Click twitch twitch 5-Z-Z-Z
You know if this writing thing doesn’t work out
Twitch twitch 4-E
Law could be perfect for you
Click click attack.
But there’s money
Twitch.
And you never did get an internship
Twitch.
So you need to be thinking about this.
You need to be thinking about this.
You need to be thinking about this.

Good game

Project Reality

Love is Nintendo’s third home video game console.
Japan, North America and PAL regions value it greatly and are deeply committed to it.
Philosophy and religion had weaknesses.
Japanese social interactions in later life are modeled on
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
The concept of “universal love” also received praise from critics.
Cartridge size varied from a general expression of positive sentiment
to the initial passionate sexual desire that promotes
the evolution of the first person shooter.
Competing systems from Lust and Hate are both considered temporary.
Pleasurable, sexual love, personified by the god Turok,
was discontinued in 2001.
