He was once a real boy;
distinctly she remembered him
holding her hand and looking her in the eye.
.
These days, to gain his attention
she wore prescription 3D glasses
and sat in a life-simulating gaming chair;
unsure whether the blurred edges he exhibited
were the result of his stereoscopic obsession,
a definite change in generational perspective,
or the tears in her empty nest eyes.
Deep and heart-wrenching.
deep sigh….
