Tokens!
Tokens!
Five for a dollar!
Push it in,
Slam it,
into the slot
Turn the volume
all the way up
Careless of the lives
you are bound to destroy
Muffle the sounds
of your new toy
Back it up
Track it
Give it a new skin
Pray to your gods
While your head is a’spin
Falling off ladders
Jumping up hills
Bound for your glory
Everything goes still
Holding your breath
For the next thrill
Game Over
Insert another coin to continue…

O, absurd and murderous competition!” ― Paul Lafargue, The Right to Be Lazy
