BLESSED

BLESSED

blessed are
the pure in spirit

most
distilled
amongst us
transcendent
beyond compare

for them
that most cerebral reward
of white pieces, black
pieces
   chess for all eternity

hoping that in the course
of infinite play
they will most certainly
discover, find,
simply stumble upon
the perfect game

whilst
    those no lesser
on this sliding scale

might find themselves
charting the incredible
magical features
of a sublime simulation.
wondrously
generated world

in which
    no law is called
sacrosanct
    unless by truly
consensual overwhelming agreement

the idolatory of markets is
crazily absent (yet not
decisively forbidden)
as is
    the presumed eternal
law of
supply and demand
