Chess Match
His name makes him the outcast...
It couldn't be normal, like Jake or Mike or Zach...
No, it had to be different; stand out:
"Blake," he says with a frown,
so I call him Montana.
He watches quietly, intently,
never saying a word,
never moving a muscle,
(pawn to H3) then laughs...
"You learn fast!"
His dark, smooth brown eyes
focus deep, deeper into mine,
trying to read my next move,
intimidation (he hopes) to deter the end result,
as my knight finds its way to F7.
"Check." "I'm trapped!" He's surprised?
After all, Montana taught me
all I know..."Good game."
(Okay, he let me win that time, he confesses, eyes filled with mystery...)
"But no mercy next round!"
