Gamer suicide

When he first experienced a random act of kindness,

it made him feel warm

and when he thought he understood the concept,

he tried it on others

and soon it was randomness he sought

and soon folks did not see him as kind

and soon he became an oddity tolerated in polite company

and laughed at behind his back.

And so he went about his life,

a pinball bouncing about in the game of life,

until the randomness became a chore

and he began to believe

it was kindness not randomness that was the problem.

He grabbed the corners of the game

and shook it until it went TILT

and the lights shut down

and the game quit
