Chess.
I don't give a damn
about your game
because I know none of it.
If there's anything I've figured out -
Chess is for old men who
consume pawns and porn
while eating kachang.
No one taught me how to play,
and it doesn't interest me enough to figure it out myself.
You came up with your own rules, regulations, instructions, etc., etc.,
but then told me later that it varies with the type of chess I'm playing.
So don't force my hands
into moving those pieces the way you like -
because I will not.
Don't go round knocking off stray bits of plastic if they've done nothing wrong to you.
Don't tell me I can't move this piece diagonally or horizontally or off the bloody surface,
Don't say no, you can't visit a friend in another box,
no, there is no get out of jail free card.
Just don't,
because you'll either win or lose
to an opponent who is barely present.
But, if you like,
I see there are squares on the board,
so let me get my pencil
and we can play tic tac toe instead.
