Yesterday morning I awoke craving my childhood. Not the sugary, feel-good nostalgia you see in Hallmark ads (on sale this week, 2 for $3.99). No, I wanted sweet, pure materialism---the demand for immediate gratification of the unadulterated variety that only a child can possess. The kind you get at the e-lec-tronics store, that comes with two red-and-black rectangles (A B + Select Start) and a hazard-orange Zapper (BANG!). So I went downtown and I bought it. Last night, I dreamt of tumbling tetrominoes, of a malicious, mocking dog, and of my one and only love, a brave, pixellated plumber. |

Echoes fade and memories die:
Autumn frosts have slain July.

As a deviation, I liked it and found it witty until the marked change in tempo after (Bang!). Then it seemed the writer indulging her vocabulary, instead of her childish side.
