Playing Games


the letters tumble as she shakes the box
he prepares to turn over the hourglass,
it measures three minutes; I checked with my phone.
it's  a game of nerves and speed, Boggles the mind,
how many four letter words or more in three minutes
he psyches us out by immediately writing,
I hear the scratching of his pencil on paper,
unable to find a single word.
It's called manspreading the psychological space
I grab my noise cancelling headphones and crush
the competition, especially pleased to conquer him.
