Chess Pieces
On the local television news,
A black man and a white man
Share half-jokes with each other,
And they chuckle
It’s good to see the black man and the white man
Having fun
How much of it is scripted? I don’t care
It was real enough
For local news
And my heart, today
The monarch of what I am
And what I want
Thinks and feels protected
And a little rested

Black and white man and chess pieces, an apt figurative comparison, an apt metaphor. And yes, scripted or not, it is a delight to humans be humans. Beautiful, brother!
