Pinball Machine
By Daisy Dai
What happens to all the
pinball machines?
Some get squeezed out
of a pizza parlor,
parts broken with care.
Some get removed
from a student center,
parts shiny and new.
Some get rolled out
of a bowling alley,
parts stale from cigarette smoke.
And finally some, if they are lucky,
Get repaired by a collector,
parts worn and adorned,
their lights blinking for eternity.
