Purple Pinball Paradox

Money, and action.
Bells and lights and wheels and
So much
Excitement!

All at once!
Totally mechanical!

Standing up, reflexes at the ready,
Hovering, on the tips of your toes
Gatorade droplets still on your lips

all alone, (BREATH), as the ball

Lifts from your machine and it lands
Like a friggin’ Tomahawk
On one of the highest scoring
Towers.

Boss.

You sigh and take the big prize
Look around
Take the big prize and smile

Toothy grin, like a million bucks.

Girls love a pinball shark,
It’s true.

Look around, side of your eye…
Gators, gators everywhere.

(And if you’re into horror
you can call 911 from the back, where
the Electric Glider sees you coming)

Birds?
Birds!

Birds that explode!
Birds that wink!

Steel ball a bird, whatever you want

It’s everything. Everything.

You got it.
You’re the shark.
You got it.
