Shrewd queens do not underestimate Joe
Bishops edge among the shadows,
Fearing policy will demand their sacrifice;
Inhuman knights move impossibly
At his command; stark castles roam
Grimly over the field, knowing pawns
Wait to trade death for death with them.
The enemy king suddenly understands
The true meaning of some casual play
But, almost paralyzed, can only wait.
