Super Smash Lovers
I’ve dreamt in video game
maps, I’ve thought a screen
a portal to another person’s
mind. Sometimes it becomes
so clear that I have
always loved the way I’ve
loved; in his basement,
when he changed the melee
time to unlimited, I believed
there’d be no end
to his arm & my arm &
the couch, to him throwing
barrels of fire at my head.
Please, keep me here. Even
when I walk off edge after
edge, I’d rather reappear again
above you.
