Xeno Hemlock

serendipity
is that what they call this thing
unexpected fate?

shiny blue helmet
caught my oblivious eye
piece of Neverland

brought back memories
of my awkward teenage years
video game times

blinking singing star
glee on getting red turtle
I loved playing Peach

this time there’s no need
to own an expensive Switch
game is free to play

cartoony drivers
Boomhill, Moonhill, and Wyldwood
better than real world

quickly I was hooked
tiny fish lured to a bait
3D daily worm

charged pink batteries
this Neverland’s currency
hook up my blue card

first buy’s a cruiser
cute, orange-stained, white kitty
eats banana peels

despite poverty
I craved more cats and more cars
kept spending blue coins

started a small fish
drifted and gobbled daily
I became a whale

voiceless and faceless
Chris Crocker or Pewdiepie
I’m ‘Z’ when not ‘X’
