The kids are gone to bed
Finally, peace at last
I tap the app and wait
Just one more game.
The small hand points to the ceiling
there’s a quiet creek from upstairs
I wait in the lobby
Just one more game.
The small hand is horizontal
My wife will kill me when she sees
I made it to the last five
Just one more game.
Time flies by
This is mental
I never even had a weapon
Just one more game.
A bird chirp chirps
Is it the game?
No. I see the dawn
My battery dies.
‘I tap the app and wait’…
