Video Game

If only it were as easy
As a puppet and string--
    Walk forward.
    Jump.
   Stop:
And I could control you
Completely--easily.
Yet you're stubborn;
Unwilling to submit
Unwilling to bend...
Beautiful and complex
Foreign and unruly---
It's a battle of wit,
A test of fortitude...
Exasperation
In exchange for satisfaction.
