JL'S GAME


At some point, he knew,
A proper chess game might awake,
Know itself and know
What its course should be.
But then the white player forgets 
That his bishop grows old
Or the black player is stirred
By the white King's sad eyes
The game screams -- Joseph
Could mimic the sound exactly -- 
As destiny settles back uneasily 
For a ride on the wrong train.
