What did you build?

Aunty, what did you build in Minecraft when you were young?

Er
I remind him young-er
Because the time he means
Is a decade ago

I was thirty
Not five like he
I remind him 
Things were different

There were less mobs
And I never saw foxes
The villagers looked the same
I explain

I built a waterslide
And a music box circuit
When the tune finished
I launched a rocket

He laughs
And shows me his screen
A zombie trap
Shadows the map

Pistons and bricks click
As tunnels move the undead
To the edge of a cliff
Where they fall

And my nephew collects their flesh
