Just a Game
You think life is like a game of chess,
cold lifeless marble to move across the board,
you think people are predictable,
constrained to movements unbeknownst to them,
but only you understand, like a god,
cold calculating, everything is just a puzzle,
take the queen and become the last king,
failures played with a fury,
half-drunk on power, half-drunk on naivety,
comforted by understanding,
pieces fall, you laugh,
life is just the flow and ebb of calculation,
it’s funny, you can’t see your reflection in the marble.
