a poem by Joshua Brown
Crafty into blocks of space coded in
Waves of murder against monsters
Simple mechanical minds of regularity
Power explosive but without disaster
Exploring what someone else designed
A team of magistrates that enforce rule
For the uninitiated
Into the dark arts of command and tool
Bugs everywhere but nowhere found
The far reaches of reality disperse wild
And peaceful we can choose to live here
Potential for monsters cleansed by Child
We are not human here but fly angelic
No consummation, no fear of death
Rise again we will and have before now
To build what we will with new breath
Canon in our own imaginations regaled
The storyline crafted by those with sword
Anarchy to leave and never seek return
And eternal death: to finally get bored

Thanks for reading "Minecraft IRL" which was written on the Denver "A Line" between the Central Park and Union Station stations on February 7, 2023. Also check out my last poem "Time-Travelling Demon" which is a reflection on the self-fulfilling prophecies we often fall prey to, but specifically referencing some of my own demons.
Comment below your favorite video game! Do you like first person shooters or are you more of a puzzler type, let me know!
