i still think it’s so interesting
that one of my absolute favorite genres
of music is 8-bit video-game music
[whether or not it’s remixed in some cool way]
even though i was not
at all
a gamer growing up
and even now
i
barely game
at all
it’s
astounding
how much joy i get from video game music
and how little joy i get
from actual video games
what
in the world
is that all about?
i feel sick
i feel overwhelmed
i feel sad and worried and down
i feel uncreative and bored
and like there’s so much i could do
if my brain wanted to
but it really really really doesn’t want to
do much more than
video games
and tv shows
and sewing sewing sewing
virtual reality
not dizzying
so much as
disorienting
and leaving me hyper aware
of smudges on my glasses
and the lack of outer space behind/in front of/around me
it’s funny how
both in real life
and on screen gaming
all my plants are
over-watered
(though
to be fair
if we had a more
humidity-full house,
i wouldn’t feel the need
because the moisture
would be
in the air)
(i have no explanation
for the video
game
plants)
