Water In Old Video Games

Find old video game water relaxing

Man, that was peak technology let’s go back to that

Vibe mastered, every console had a diaphanous edition

My dad bought me a silver PS2, available chunky or lissome

Blocky waves and windspray sound

Sun upon still waters expounds 

Expands and rebounds in silver and xanthous serpent meanders

More blue than asphyxiating, choppier than Flanders Fields is poppier

No fix they can patch in, what’s on the disc is it even if the game’s shit

Bring it down to Chartbusters, secretly swap it and minor crime commit

Have pockets no money though

Wishlist bigger than my bankroll

Every frame can be a painting, every pixel a vast cathedral

Or every challenge make paywalled, behold the face of evil

I draw happiness from old block-shaped waves

Memory carded so memory stays, save stated.
