Pac Man

I am not your
top score
but I am a maze
with some difficulty. 
I have power
pellets that will make
you feel like 
the control is yours. 

You play me
skillfully
while moving your
fingers, touching 
just the right buttons
then sliding through
tunnels to avoid
the side where 
everything seems 
to chase you. 

You will lose a life
in this labyrinth 
but I know 
you will keep going
until eventually you win
with a shout of
"fucking bitch"
in celebration.

Boston Winter

You are a snow bank. 
I am a Pacific NW
girl that doesn't own 
snow boots. 
I heard that every
snowflake 
is beautifully different 
but when you are piled
together and I am more
than knee deep
I just want you to melt
so I can put on rain boots
and jump into a
familiar puddle.
