vanquished//or conquer

vanquished! vanquished! i have been vanquished,
yet as a glutton for punishment,
i still yearn for more,
so i hit the restart button,
my avatar comes to life
in a digital world,
and i look to conquer, 
this way! to victory!

VIDEO GAME ATTENTION SPAN

it’s hard to get through to you,
when you keep playing that damn video game,
it takes up all your time and attention,
i really wish you would just listen to the rotund verisimilitude
playing in the background,
it’s made up of the same radiation that
created the universe,
though i suppose so too were those video games 
that entropy seems to love
