Game Set and Match

[rowens]

Using "perverse" instead of 'perversity' seems fine to me, especially since you used "porn" instead of 'pawn'. It works in a "perverse" way, in a good way, in the game of "life" with its arbitrary Chess rules, as opposed to real life where nothing 'human beings' say or do is literally perverse. After "inscribable", "intrepid" falls a bit as a word, but makes up for it with its meaning. I thought only Hart Crane used the word 'ensconcing'.
But all these things I've said work positively for this poem. And, though it's posted in Novice, it seems good enough to be in Mild or Serious.
