LIFE IS LIKE A VIDEO GAME

by CHRISTOPHER

Waking up like the game just loaded.
Hear the alarm, shut it off and go back to sleep,
Save my progress and wake up. Take a
Shower, get dressed and brush my teeth
Like a person playing me, wondering what’s next
Today. Put on shoes, running to the bus
stop like someone pressing A A A A A A A
A A A Stop! I’m thinking. When I get
On the bus, same thing, save all the progress
That has been done. Coming to school, eating breakfast
To refuel the energy. Going to class, time limit up
On the screen. 30 29 28, till it gets to zero, I
Made it on time. School work is like a mission,
Don’t finish it – you get a F for fail. Gym – getting
Fit, getting stronger and ready for life. Changing
Clothes like getting ready to tell the president
“we are going to war.” Lunch – refilling your energy.
Science – learning how to survive on the land, like
Making things that your body needs. Band – learning
How to play, A button = high note, B button= low
Note. Learn a little math. Socializing, in your
Brain picking what to say. A = say something, B= say nothing.
Social studies, learning about the world like on a
Game picking which place to go. Last but not
Least – get my stuff, save the game and come
To Exclusive Ink.
