AN ANTIQUE PLAY FIGURE
i joined myriad
chess and go sets
no longer warring
and
backgammon pieces
no longer escaping
also
duplicate bridge boards
soon to be defunct
and
go players
shamed by mentors
and competitors
vying with
make believe
systems
created on
fantasy equipment
to replace all
figures,
pieces
domains
wood or stone
marble or plastic
visual
or imagined
in boxes
brain sized
once shared with
visitors to earth
or vice versa
to be rediscovered
in new millenia
in digs
of time capsules
or
mummified brains
to be rectified
in clinical trials
or by children
smart and proud
self assured
like their
ancestors
possibly boring
