15 Years of Eye Strain
Although I was born in ’86
The cycle didn’t start until ’89
When the handheld juggernaut hit the scene
It was a boy!
A GameBoy that is
For some reason that mean green screened
Sum ma ma bitch
Was created with a gender in mind
I guess the mysterious
Ambiguous nature of the technology doesn’t matter
Given the fact that it hooked more kids than the tobacco industry
Causing more children to become one with no discrimination
By every Tetris line
Every Mario mushroom
And every swing of the sword
Then in ’93 came my Genesis
I soon found out how
“Sega does what Nintendon’t.”
“My own personal arcade” I thought
And indeed it was.
The irises in my skull were married to the Sega symbol that awakened on the TV
Once I pushed my baby’s button.
I stayed committed during every gaming session
And spent quality time with my step children:
Sonic
Vectorman
And the twins
Ken and Ryu
Fast forward to 2004
I’ve become a gaming Mormon
In with 17 significant others
With enough room in my heart for more.
Each one is equal to your “fine wine”
Getting better with the passing of time.
But instead of requiring a new liver
It’s the optics that need replacement
And it all started with the irresistible
Heroine-like first love in ’89
You can say I’ve become a “Player” of sorts
