What We Learnt From The Game

In the end my father learnt 
not much from the life simulation 
he has been playing through out 
our lives. He told me that 
and the cheat code – randomness. 

Today, I decide at random 
that I should strill towards 
the damp lane and visit the house 
he and I both grew up. 
He died. I am still in the game.

Someone opens the curtains 
and watches me through 
the dim interior. Perhaps, 
I am a beep and a holographic 
message from his future self.
