About the Story

Over the course of his morning commute, a man contemplates what it takes to be a good father.

“A real-time digital poem.
No branches or choices or puzzles to solve.
Just words and photos and a rhythm you choose.

N.B. For the best experience, please avoid playing on a mobile device.”

Non-interactive poem, April 11, 2026

It's a ~5,000-word non interactive poem, with just a handful of words per line, across 1,742 lines.

The POV character is depressed, and finds day-to-day life pointless and meaningless. I felt like it made its point in the first 1,000 words.
