I hate it
how you
divide

my attention

playing chess
and you
do things
that divide

telling me
you a great grandmaster
(or should
that be
    “grandmistress”?)

drawing attention to
how strong you are
in every
Queen’s pawn game

(look at my black square bishop
gliding down
     that juicy open
long diagonal

pinning you
forking you
skewering you

doing exactly what I
feel today I just
need
    to do to you

Oh I hate you when
you divide me
from my mind

    you and
your diagonals

seems I better just resign,
enjoy then
    what lies in store
