What Games Shall We Play?
Let’s play “Hide-and-Seek“.
I’ll hide in plain sight
Where there is no option
But to be caught.
You may hide wherever you wish.
Let’s play “Musical-Chairs“.
I am competing with thousands
For a very limited number of chairs.
In your version there is only one chair
And you stand defiantly before it.
Let’s play “Tag“.
I am forever IT,
Unable to touch my prey
And doomed to chase insubstantial spirits.
You simply need reach out.
Let’s play “King of the Hill“.
I am charged with a task I am doomed to fail.
Pity poor Sisyphus,
The rock too heavy, the slope too steep.
You stand triumphant atop the summit.
Let’s play “Truth Or Dare“.
This Game, I fear you most of all.
I have too many secrets
That “Truth“ might bring to light.
While you have too many sins to “Dare“.
