a game like life

i played a game with my limbs,
and a small utensil
the goal of which is simply
move a little ball until
it goes blithely where it should be without added effort.


instead of bringing me any joy,
this game only makes me fret
for just like larger life
my efforts aren't quite yet
efficient, effective or rife with victory.
