Through
The infectiousness of game
The absurd becomes natural

The silly is solid
As children we knew
Through

The heartlight that shone
Through reality's walls

Still, the world retains
That same vague transparency

In my now-aged eyes
Youth's laugh is bright

Still, subdued by the solid,
I have become severe.

Stern,
Predisposed to melancholy,
Captured, introspective.

Game of chains
Your silliness became
Serious

Naturally, absurdity
Infected me through game.
