Red Joystick Poem by Kewayne Wadley

Through the red joysticks
And white & blue slap buttons.
Without the advancement of memory cards
Or weird split screens to
distract.
My last life is always the one
I save for you,
Through the experience points
and colorful gems
There's much more to explore.
My first wow, my first time, my next again
& Again.
No matter how many times
I feel like I lose,
You're the reason I always get back up.
My initials fill all ten slots of your heart,
Until you're decommissioned and pulled
Out of stock.
There they will always remain
