These are called game poems, and the writing is distinctly poetic, but the thing I keep coming back to with my printout of this is that they are *prose* games--not technical writing, which is the standard form of game design, and not lyrical in the sense normally meant by lyric games.

These make me think of half-forgotten book I read as a kid explaining games like sardines and charades and blind-man's bluff. They stick with you in similar ways, and are games you can internalize and then just teach someone to play. That's a powerful thing.
