Mortal Kombat Memories
By Rebel_not_Radical
I was only 1/3 the age requirement
when i knew of one of the
greatest joys of life
Other kids walked or maybe cycled
around the block in the hot
summer days of '95
But I was Mortal Kombatting my ass back then
it was real kool and krazy as
we started to substitute all "c"'s with "k"
And I spent whole afternoons
trying to make the other guy's player's
head roll off, burn, get eaten
and if I were lucky...
His head would get impaled on spikes
I know i was wierd back then having
been obsessed with such
The simple things that made me smile
pressing buttons in the air
and thinking of nothing but being the strongest
while staring blankly into empty space
And I look back at it all
it wasn't the plastic box that made it special
It was those who stood beside me
Laughing when we killed each other off...
~inspired by my friends i have left behind
and those who i will be leaving shortly
Here's to my 4 years in high school

...headbutt, backhand, complex uppercut! That Street Fighter magic, juggling movements and I feel those movements in your joystick poem. Sometimes its just good to recall the fun, even in poetry. Well done (although I was more into Downhill...

...rollerSkating Punch&Judy Extreme Sports; heh!). Still, nice. I love the emotion of your final line and the truth of: "I know i was wierd back then having been obsessed with such." Yea, ditto!
