Where I’m From I am from wires, from electricity and TV screens. I am from the dust covering the console. (Piled high, thick, It made me sneeze) I am from the Sega Genesis the Nintendo Who has long been forgotten amongst the shiny new games.
I am from controllers and memory cards, From Mario and Sonic. I’m from the ******* gamers, And the once-in-a-whiles, From You win! And Game over! I’m from Thou saveth the princess With Donkey and Diddy And 10 cheats I know by heart.
I’m from GameStop and Best Buy, brand new plastic and overheating console. From the controller thrown across the room To the memories, bonding brother and sister.
In my closet is a box, filled with old games, scratched up discs that will never again work I am from these games created before I was born, born from the tree of electronics.
