Tama Time

Kristin Gustafson

Shape poem

    One
  day is
     the eq       uivalent to one
           year for a Tamagotchi. I
           kept my first one alive for
     e i ghty                                      years,
   missed                                       our time
 with the                                         scariest
of match                                        m a kers.
 My best                                          f r i e n d
  was on                                         her third
   digi tal                                       newborn
        and  I didn’t know I could give
          mine a better life than jump
              ing   rope   and   eating
                      scones all day.
