'77
X-Wing battles fueled my
Seven year old dreams

Video games soon
Represented the far far
Away galaxy

But not exactly.
Space Invaders, Asteroids
And Galaxian

Every enemy
Was a tie fighter, every
Hero, an X-wing

Until finally,
1983, Star Wars
Got its own coin-op

Pilot an X-wing
The Hulking Death star awaits
Your vector attack

Dive into the trench
Fire the proton torpedoes
Goodbye exhaust port!

At 13 years old
My Star Wars dreams realized
I could now move on
