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.
