MS. PAC-MAN OR LAUNDRY

A Ms. Pac-man stands off

in a corner near the Men’s Room

there’s very little dust

no doubt a few mid timers

(not to be confused with old timers)

still enjoy the game

I could play a game or two

The machine still takes quarters

and I have a few quarters

sitting in my pocket

but I also need the quarters

to do my laundry

So do I avoid getting suckered in?

I suppose I could

It wouldn’t be the first time

if I showed up Monday morning

hungover, bleary eyed

shamefully clad in dirty clothes

It wouldn’t be the first time

and only a fool

would assume it would be the last
