Elegy for my Tamagotchi

a poem by Katt Grover

the first time it happened I cried

the first time it happened I cried

just four days;

the first time it happened I cried

just four days; an omen from your motherland

I killed you

I killed you long before

I killed you long before I ventured

I killed you long before I ventured into plants

SO THIRSTY...

when I forgot

when I forgot

to take you to Dad's house at the weekend

when I forgot

to take you to Dad's house at the weekend

I returned to find your disembodied spirit

floating above a tiny grave

BOOOOOO!

you died of sickness

you died of sickness

you died of starvation

you died in a pile of digital excrement

you died in a pile of digital excrement

you died in a pile of digital excrement

you died in a pile of digital excrement

sometimes you went alone

sometimes I observed

holding your hand

or holding a pillow over your face

depending on my mood

don't worry

don't worry

I would whisper

don't worry

I would whisper

you will be reborn again

don't worry

I would whisper

you will be reborn again

and you were

which in hindsight

which in hindsight

gave me unrealistic expectations about death
