Art Is Not Enough

always on the move

always on the run

always standing still

always never done

 

keep on doing more

keep on learning less

keep on suffering

keep on top the test

 

never no time off

never no time on

never working hard

never an artist gone

 

art remains a job

art remains a love

art goes through the motions

art is not enough

 

art becomes a drug

art is not enough

Steam, The Bringer of Dreams

Steam, Steam
the bringer of dreams
titles upon titles
of games that seem
good enough to buy
at least for the price
but now, they sit
unplayed, cold as ice

I’ll play it someday
you say to yourself
Best to buy now
while you have the wealth
Though Lego Batman
is good at $4.99
you’ll never play it
because there’s no time

You own now more games
than you ever did before
Your collection of twelve
became a hundred and twenty-four
Steam, Steam
the game of the dime
you now own enough games
to last the end of time

Titanfall Poem

Despite my experience, I’m at a lost concerning what to do
I’ve held a controller in my hands since 1992
But I can’t get a frag, not even an assist kill at all
There’s no way I’ll be good at Titanfall

The game is so fast, with no chance to get my bearings
I accidentally shoot my own teammates, causing their glarings
I really am no better than one of the A.I. grunts
and I’m often the prey with those with smart pistols, the cunts

There’s no real means for me to be able to practice in the game
as there’s no training or single player and so I play the same
Perhaps I could look up some videos with tips on how to play
but I shouldn’t have to go on YouTube to prevent being called gay

My only means of playing would be through Origin
which I have only to play Alice Madness Returns again
I know the game is popular but I don’t really like Titanfall
and if the game won’t help me think otherwise, why should I care at all?
