Game Set and Match

The Game Was Set, But No Match (1st revision)




Sensing, she was merely porn 
for the knight,
bordering on the perversity of his needs;
she may have succumbed,
had her logic proved statistically  
awry.

He had the king
after all, ensconcing fear 
to make her queen disappear.
She’d seen many others lose their castles, 
and watched their horses fall. Aged

and armed
to scribe and enable charm,
still; he was no match for her intrepid
nature. Having never played the game before,
believing there’s no sin
in all or nothing. Losing,
was never going to be an objective
however well observed.

She danced
like a negative
with the Devil and his disciples-
and thank GOD,
she won.
