Miss Atari

Poem (audio)

I have been tossed aside
in his closet
way back in the corner
spiders have been having
their way with me since …many years
I have lost pieces of me
I can’t seem to put myself together

He lost the passion for me
but once upon a time
I was his treasure
I led him into different realms
I was his means of fun and exploration
I was his addiction

Now I realize that I was just being played
and was only the first in a line of boy toys
