PIECES
to be
or not to be
they will
not tell you
what could be
good move
never
mind best move
not a whisper
even a
glimpse or
hint
Knight, Queen, Knight
Pawn
kept under wraps
kept to themselves
just waiting for you to
hit the pitfall, move
without
seeing
odds so long against
pulling a Kasparov Carlsen
Fischer worthy gem
out of the hat
magic rabbit
of a combination
plan
(if that
be the word) not
as solid
as it seems, something
outside all
that you schemed walking
in through sudden
doorway
unpredicted
unobserved
asking you how
you going to get
out of this catastrophe
needing
strategy, fluidity,
flexability
your
calculations so
wooden
in Hamlet were chess
this would be the question
