Balance, Patti Kaufman
Penny Arcade
Been to an arcade lately?
You know, skeeball and video games
And all kindsa fun?
Take the pinball machines….
Ever think that life is like a pinball game?
A being gets released out of the chute …..whammo
And the journey begins.
Bobbling along encountering barriers and opportunities
Lighting up and ring-a-dinging as the adding and subtracting
All take part in the adventure.
You think you control the levers, but not really.
If you’re good, they just redirect,
Like the recalculate of the GPS lady.
The journey may be extended
But eventually we all know what happens,
The ball/being falls into the exit door and fini…..
Add up the points and see what you are worth.
Lotsa tickets will get you a chatchka or two at the gift counter.
