Swatting back and forth
Posturing menacingly
Flying magic swords
Remembered tempo and feel
Departed master’s fighting hands
Black and white ghosts
Blast from your past
Waiting for you to choose
Your turn (based combat)
Disembodied RPG sprites
Seeking their revenge
Gameboy left outside
Since you were a teen
