Invitation

 

Wanna play chess?

I'm the King, the Queen,

and the whole damn set!

You should see me as a small pawn;

not too bright, but sweet.

All the rest are just my servants!

Yes, even the Bishop.

He might put on some airs,

but he's full of it.

 

Or, maybe.......chess is too

antagonistic a game.......

 

Hmmm.......

 

How about we go burrow in

fallen pine needles; we can both

be shiny, black beetles.
