KYLE AT CHESS

KYLE AT CHESS

After those blown
final quarters think
I should
   play Kyle at chess

across 64 white
black squares

he would
not be at his best

checking on
his playbook
instead of
analyzing the
board

fools mate, scholars mate,
smothered mate
      quick
into the pan
fried liver mate

one, two,
          three, West
Coast, East Coast
         Bobby Fischer
        (merciful) mate

he wouldn’t need to
worry about

the torture of
leading
       heading into an

       endgame, being
outmanouvered
            at the end
