You play life like a chess board -
Always looking for a pawn
To counter.
Move to
Win.
A rookie takedown.
Every square painted-
Black and White.
For or against.
You -
Never thought to stroke.
The alabaster or-
Take a metronome moment to,
Tik,
Tok.
Ponder on,
Anyhing but your own,
Variegated.
View of Point.
Fixated on you and -
Yor next
Play for a-
Self-perceived victory.
Proud.
Chest puffed up like the frog king-
With a bishop's guilt.
Did you checkmate,
Or were you the mate,
Who got checked?
And who is to know the difference?
Except the pawn.
In your funny little game.
Of chess.
Mate.
