mind games
tic, i draw an ‘o’
tac, you draw a cross
toe, where will you go?
i’m at a loss
we’re playing charades
miming when we could just talk
you set up verbal blockades
all i can do is gawk
am i using the right piece
for this game of tetris
your cryptic instructions increase
my every try is a miss
finding your pac man in the maze
do you see me as a ghost
someone you need to chase
or would you run if i froze
the score’s at match point
i’m resigned to my fate
once more, i flip a coin
we restart our mind games
