OK

when I stare ahead

with the absent look

on my face

you sometimes ask

these

always meaningless

three words

are you OK

I move pawns

on the board
in my head

I test how far

can I get

if I use a bishop instead

if I do castling

am I OK

I try to predict

your next

and another and another

move

I may frown

and say out loud

checkmate

it's not OK
